I´m working on. (Excellent pictures, by the way!) Thus, I would greatly appreciate your letting me know
what the consent process is so that I could make use of some of your pictures.
Thanking your comments,
I remain
Yours truly,

Hi Bernie,
Just ran across your web site, I found it very interesting about the coffee
process. I've read about it but never really seen it until your pictures anyway
keep up the good work. I was hoping I could use one picture of the cherries for
my presentation? Let me know if that is ok.
Thanks

I think you made an awesome work!! I'm so happy to see that somebody took the time to take pictures of our city, and show how beautiful my country is. People need to know that we have a city, that we have buildings, that we have as much as other countries do. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this.

who has been living in the US for over 20 years, I must say that you are a
great photographer and brought back some great memories. Your work is to be
commended. Thanks for the memories!

Hi B. Velarde, I'm living in Nebaj since 1987 and I've seen a lot of pictures taken by visitors, these are the best. It's too bad the lake dried out severely this summer. Anyway, the rainy season is about to start again... I made a webpage about the Ixil region, you might know about it: www.nebaj.org, and I'd like to know if you would agree to include some of your pictures in it. Do you have photoshop or other formats of those than jpg? Thanksfully, Pascal Huwart Solidaridad Internacional Nebaj

What a fascinating place the Quirigua Archaeological Park is. I like the stelae and zoomorphs. The Ball Court is beautiful (I wish my grass looked like that!). A little croquet or bocce ball, anyone? Monkeypuzzle7
