An indigenous Mesoamerican myth describes the discovery and opening of a mountain filled with maize, capable of providing sustenance to the people of the world. Nonetheless, hundreds of years after this event would have occurred, we continue to hunger— physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Have you wondered what it’s like to spend time in unknown places looking for photographs?

Go for a virtual stroll and you’ll have some sense of what my experience was like.
