Guaruma Monthly July 2011
Guaruma is a Honduras based non-profit organization promoting environmental awareness and conservation through educational programs in the Rio Cangrejal watershed on the Eastern border of the Pico Bonito National Park. To accomplish this, Guaruma provides after school classes in English, Computation, Environmental Studies, and Photography. With these classes the students learn how to take better care of their environment, communicate with tourists, and showcase where they live.. In the Guaruma Monthly Review we show some of the best photographs by our students over the past month. ENJOY! Benjamin Katz—Director of Photography

Photographs in the Moment The focus of photography varies from person to person, from artist to artist. Henri Cartier-Bresson espoused the idea of capturing the moment, of freezing life and holding it forever in a photograph. Here our students have worked to show a similar kind of passion and appreciation for the moments that life gives.

The Natural Form of Things In photography, as inlife we seek to find some sort of order, whether it be understood, implied, or even subconscious. In photography one way to do so is to search for the form of an image. How the water falls, how the leaves overlap, the curvature of the sky or the process of waiting at the bus-stop . . .

Capturing the Beauty of Life Life is more than just a posed image of friends. Life consists of all sorts of moments and beauty, of calm and upheaval. Life is beautiful and more than anything else this beauty is what the students of Guaruma try to show.
