Santiago

Santiago, Guatemala — cobblestone streets, colorful buildings and visible utility wiring near Lake Atitlán

This photo set documents streets and buildings in Santiago, a municipality on the shores of Lake Atitlán. Images show cobblestone thoroughfares lined with brightly painted colonial-era and vernacular buildings, balconies and storefronts opening onto the street. Visible utility wiring, mixed building materials and localized repairs appear across multiple frames and are evidence of municipal service expansion alongside private adaptations. The series records everyday commerce, pedestrian movement and the material conditions of a lakeside town.
