I always say “I’m a simple girl” ...My pictures reflect my emotions, the way I feel... sad or happy you'll always get the real me.

I live in Guatemala City.... I’m an architect and I've been in love with photography for a while now... Some years ago I got EOS Rebel XT!!! I loved it!!!

Never been serious about photography till flickr ... ans still I'm not serious about it... I just love it more...

Doing the 365 project tough me a lot about a lot of things but mostly about myself. Might do it again. Just not sure yet.

Because of work I got introduced to the amazing world of editing with Photoshop... now it's one of my favorite things to do.

I changed to a Canon 50D ... and I have a Speedlite 580EX II Flash... and that is about all I need... :)

If you add me as a contact please send me a message .. I'll try to check your stream ...

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY...

I could run like the wind blows!

    "I stumbled upon Maria's stream some time ago, she was in the middle of her 365 and I was immediately struck with how open and honest and LOVELY her stream was. If you have not already, take some time and look through the pictures...there are so many beautiful examples of well composed images with the amazing imagery and lighting. A true inspiration for me and my project.

    As a contact I was so touched when she immediately started encouraging me and commenting on my stream. What a wonderful contact and friend to have! Maria, I can't wait for the day we can finally meet in person! Muchos Abrazos"

    "There are so many wonderful things I can say about Maria. Her artistry and creativity in her photos are amazing to see and her willingness to share in her uptimes and her downtimes show a strength of character and courage I don't see often. She is just a beautiful soul and I'm blessed to have her as a friend and hope I might meet her one day."

    "Maria's photos are suffused with such warmth and love and emotion and color. Every single one of her shots makes me sit back from my flickr-comment-frenzy and stay for a while and look. And, while you can never ever get a really good grasp on who Maria is, because she shows so many different sides (an architect, an artist, a person) and so many different emotions -- what I do know is she is one of my best friends on flickr for one reason: she is utterly and unbelievably lovely in soul. That, and because she is also a hottie. Well, the combination and I am sold!! I hope to see Maria in person some day, just so I can get to meet this true flickr gem!!!"

    "Maria's stream is one of the few I make sure to check daily. Every day she has another brilliant photo that makes me think "Wow!" She's one of the most creative people on Flickr, and she's a genuinely sweet person! Thanks, Maria, for being an inspiration. :)"

    "I can't believe nobody has written Maria a testimonial yet. We need to change that! Maria is an absolutely sweet young lady with a great eye for the artistic. Her photos are always very well thought out and perfectly shot. I'm very much looking forward to getting to know her even better over the next 300+ days of her 365 Days project. Perhaps the greatest thing I can say about her is that her work always puts a smile on my face when I'm feeling blue."
