Hispanic Pictures Feliz Año Nuevo

Hispanic pictures Feliz Año Nuevo! captures the uncertainty living in many Latino hearts today, probably due to the difficult economic times that are rampant around the world.

This photo may seem an unlikely selection for the New Year, but the unknown of what's behind the hats and the solemn look in the child's face strikes me as an appropriate photo for 2012, considering the many unknowns in our future and the lack of economic and environmental optimism in the air.

Times are uncertain in Guatemala, where this photo was taken, as it is in much of the world today.

The older folks look to comfort the child, but the child is questioning them - as though to say, "what's with you grown up?" Why is my world so messy?

The answers are few and with no guarantees. In all parts of the world struggles exist and finding the right balance is a difficult process, but what is certain is that we need to provide a safe future with opportunities for our children - no matter in what country, language or culture.

Lets work towards Prosperidad, Unidad, y un Feliz Año Nuevo in 2012!
