Chac-Mool,...Chillin' by the Pool


The Chac-Mool is an archetypal motif of pre-Columbian Mayan culture. Chac-Mool statues are to be found all over Southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and wherever Mayan culture flourished before the arrival of the Spanish.

This is a photo of my own Chac-Mool, whose head I glued back on one day after a dreadful fall that he endured.

This is a pinhole camera image. (I took my second Vivitar PN2011 and made that into a pinhole camera.) I think the exposure was about 3 seconds.
