Pologua, Guatemala 1975

Ed Grazda's 1975 black and white photograph, "Pologua, Guatemala," depicts a man reading a book in front of a rural cemetery. The man, dressed in a dark jacket, is positioned in the foreground, creating a stark contrast against the bright sky and the open space of the cemetery. The image captures a moment of solitude and reflection, suggesting themes of faith and spirituality in a Guatemalan context. The photographer's use of stark contrasts and careful framing creates a sense of depth and emotional weight.
