Countdown to PIX 2015: Kiliii Fish and Scavenging Guatemala
With just two weeks until PIX 2015, we're taking the opportunity to introduce you to some of our talented re:FRAME speakers. You can catch them October 6 & 7 live streamed right here, or join us in person at Seattle Center! Just pick up an all-access pass to gain entry to re:FRAME talks at McCaw Hall.
Adventure and outdoor photographer Kiliii Fish was helping lead a workshop in Guatemala when he encountered something he wasn't expecting. In the villages outside of Antigua, he and his students came across a landfill near an actively erupting volcano. Amidst the haze and decay they found waste pickers - individuals scavenging the most valuable items and recyclables from the landfill.
With over 60% of Guatemala's population living in poverty, a family can make (barely) enough to survive by waste picking. It's unpleasant work in harsh conditions, but it provides steady work and freedom, so they arrive when the garbage trucks do to find bottles and cardboard. You can see some of the photos from his series 'Scavenging Guatemala' in the slideshow above.
Catch Kiliii Fish's re:FRAME talk 'Living Wild' at 4:25pm PT on Wednesday, October 7. You can find more of his work at his website as well as Instagram.

As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. So far, it's a fun camera to shoot with – if a bit over the top.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
The GFX 50R is a 50MP rangefinder-style mirrorless camera. It borrows heavily from the existing 50S model but in a smaller body and at a lower price. How does it differ?
The instant camera market is heating up, and with four formats and 15+ cameras to choose from, we felt it was high time to examine them all and pick our favorite.
