People, Places, & Things from A to Z: The G-List

By Norman Carr

Gee, we have reached the letter G on this photographic journey. That is over one fourth of the way to Z. This stop includes a photo from far back in my archives.

GUATEMALA CITY and the GRINGO

Nearly five decades have passed since I photographed the elegant abuela cradling her bible in a Guatemala City church. I still remember her pause that Sunday morning, and I still wonder if she was polite or confused as I raised my camera. Was she complimented or cornered by a white stranger who paid more money for his camera than she would see in a year. But over the years it is I who has been humbled and intimidated by the depth of her dark eyes.

THE RAIN IN SPAIN

Of all the photogenic cities in the world a handful merit the top tier. In the mid-sized category one of my favorites is Girona where I photographed a small plaza quieted by the rain. Another town is the UNESCO World Heritage site Český Krumlov where I listened to a Gypsy jazz guitarist.

NEXT STOP “H”

My “H” photos are coming soon. They will include images of small towns in Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico and Croatia. You will see spectacular housing in Vienna and cliff dwellings in the Southwest desert. As always, I am interested in knowing your G or H person, place or thing.
