Trujillo, Peru...Just the Beginning

In Trujillo we worked with Peru Mission. I was commissioned to shoot 6 different pieces ranging from typical Trujillo images (see below) to their commercial woodshop project to missionary family shoots. It was a great time, and I'm glad I had something useful to offer the mission. Now here's some images around and about Trujillo:











One of the missionary interns, Sam Love, took Chris and I all around the city. He has lived in Trujillo for about a year now and has some favorite spots that show the real, gritty side of Trujillo...not just the spots where tourists flock.






The city is full of interesting architecture.






The markets are really amazing in Peru. They are colorful and dirty and full of really cheap fresh food. I love it.






The market shoot was my favorite. Sam asked a couple of market sellers if we could take their pictures.







Corn. Important staple in Peruvian food.






Beautiful, huh.






















We couldn't leave without getting some butcher shop photos. Love this one.



















And here's Sam!

Those Cutie Ninos!


































These pictures are taken with our different public school students. We have eight different classes! I love the little ninos.

Some Pretty Landscapes

















Otuzco. This was made by the Incas possibly for graves or to store food??















This guy needs an eye trim.









On a little road coming up the mountian.

Out and About in Cajamarca


This is a little Peruvian lady at the top of Santapolonia. From there you can see most of Cajamarca city.



We went to Alonzo's farm and checked out his Cuy (that means ginni pigs). They eat Cuy in Peru. We haven't tried it yet, but I have a feeling that we will eat some before we leave. Alonzo keeps hinting at it.

This is one of our little students from the public school.



This is the first time that we rode in a Combi (it is a really little bus). We took a ride to Otuzco. It was fun but when we got out of the bus my left leg was dead. Those buses were not designed for gringos gordos.


This was the swinging bridge in Otuzco.


This guy ran the a christian cooperative. They have this amazing zoo in the mountains. There are some really great pictures of animals that we will post later on.


That me just chillin at the zoo.

















Alonzo is steady at the wheel.


This is people in the market buying and selling chickens. They had bags of Cuy that were alive. Ava wanted to set all of the animals free. We had to hold her back.



These are some of our students in the public school. They are really funny. They kept trying to get us to let them turn on the radio and dance.




































This was a little girl on the street selling some food. I kept wanting to get some but everyone says that it would kill me. We will be in Cajamarca for another week and then we will be making our way to Cuzco with a couple of stops on the way.
