Nino del Fuego

Translation - Flame Boy

We were united with this kid when he guided us up the mountain to the casita where we would be having our Sn Pedro ceremony. It was clear that he stays up here every so often.

He didn't say a lot but he gave off a really strong energy that we all felt and he was in and out of ceremonial circle. When I was filming he was playing with the zoom and was smiling at the screen. So I decided to pass him the camera and let him control it. This was really cool as I was sharing the thing I love to do with somebody completely new to the concept.

The moment captured was in the morning once he had woken up, I was gifted with an incredible shot of our blazing fire roaring in-front of him.
