Gloria did a few somersaults down a steep hill and picked some dandelions to blow my way before beginning her daily chore of milking the family cow. After she milks the cow, Gloria carries a large jug back up the hill and down the road to a small cheese-making facility in the village.

Indigenous Connections: Life in the Village of San Bernardo, Ecuador

I traveled to the indigenous village of San Bernardo in the central highlands of Ecuador in 2008. My approach to photography partnered with the fact that my brother John had been living in the village for the past two years as a Peace Corps volunteer, gave me unique and intimate access to this community. The majority of people in the valley are subsistence farmers, dependent on small plots of land for their livelihood. Life is difficult and homes, livestock and crops literally cling to the steep green slopes of the surrounding mountains. In spite of these hardships, I am inspired by the joyful spirit of this community – a spirit that is fed by a deep devotion to family, faith and an intimate connection to the land.

A portion of all proceeds from image sales will be donated to El Proyecto Inti Ñan, a non-profit that provides lunch and supplemental educational activities to children in San Bernardo. El Proyecto Inti Ñan is supported by Kindernothilfe, one of the largest children’s aid organizations based in Europe. Please inquire for more information.

Print & Frame Details:

Images are printed with archival pigment ink on Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl paper. Each print is individually signed with acid-free permanent ink. Print sizes include a minimum 1/2” border around the image area for matting purposes.

Specific image dimensions may vary. General dimension estimates are listed above. Frames for 8”x10” and larger prints are wood with a flat black finish. Mats for framed prints are 8-ply white archival rag. There is a 1/4” border between the image area and mat. Mat borders are 3” for 8” x 10” prints and 4” for 11” x 14” to 20” x 30” prints. Due to the subjective nature of frame selection, requests for variations in framing must be sought directly from the local framer of your choice.

*The 5" x 7" matted print is unframed and comes in a clear protective bag. It is matted (4-ply archival) to a standard 8" x 10" frame size with a full-bleed image window of 4.5" x 6.5". The print and mat are signed.

Please contact Stacey for custom size or substrate requests.
