- Walking Panama City (Panama) one evening as the sun set, I came across this abandoned building just at golden hour, as the sun slipped below the horizon. The combination of wrought iron railings and teal-colored tile arches formed an unusual color palette on the facade, with the decaying building behind it. Shot while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- San Miguel volcano (also known as Volcan Chapparastique) is an active volcano about nine miles southwest of San Miguel, El Salvador. Here, the setting sun begins to fade on the volcano's western face. This image taken from the deck of Andante, our 42-foot sailboat, from the Lempa River while cruising Central America 2000-2001.
- This beautiful walkway along the beach can be found on Useppa Island—a little-known island located on the northern boundary of Pine Island Sound near Southwest Florida. Rising seas, around 4500 BC, disconnected Useppa from the mainland. Among other historical facts, the CIA used Useppa as its clandestine practice site for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. Image #4 of 4.

- The San Blas Archipelago, off the northeastern coast of Panama, is home to the Kuna Yala—an indigenous people that inhabit its 365 coastal islands. We sailed the archipelago for a month anchoring at various islands, snorkeling, and exploring. I love this shot because of nature's tropical gradients from white sand to sky blue. Taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- I shot several images of the Cuba Tobacco Cigar Company during a shooting trip to Little Havana in Miami. Here the store owners inspect a shipment of tobacco leaves in preparation for cutting and rolling. Little Havana is a neighborhood in Miami that is home to many Cuban exiles. The neighborhood is known for Cuban culture, food, and cigars.
- Tikal became the most powerful kingdom of the ancient Maya, and it is awe-inspiring. This shot of Temple II (Temple of the Masks) is center-framed looking straight up the massive stairs that need to be climbed sideways due to their steepness. Taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- Tikal became the most powerful kingdom of the ancient Maya, and it is awe-inspiring. When we visited in 2001 it was relatively devoid of visitors. This shot of Temple I (Temple of the Great Jaguar) is taken from the back. A line of visitors in the shadow provides perspective. Taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- I love this shot of Tikal's Temple IV (Temple of the Double Headed Serpent) as it looks across the jungle on a level plane to the top of the structure, 212 feet from its base. If you squint, you can almost imagine the torchlight ceremony in the doorway. Taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- An additional perspective on Temple IV (Temple of the Double Headed Serpent) in the background, with Temple 33 in the foreground. Only the base of Temple 33 now remains. I sat at my photo vantage point for 15-minutes, listening to the jungle and birds. Taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- A stone walkway with arched teal door at the church of Saint John the Baptist in the village of San Juan Bautista Suchix Hahuca. Construction for this Renaissance architecture church was completed in 1576. Bekki and I traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico, February of 2020 with my sister and brother-in-law who organize cultural trips to Central America and Mexico.
- This was actually the stairway to the locker rooms at the Acapulco Yacht Club. But 'Stairway to Heaven' sounds a bit more evocative. Every morning, light flooded the top of the stairs, amplifying the orange walls and carpet. Love those Mexican colors. Image made while cruising Mexico in our sailboat 2000.

Little Havana is a neighborhood in Miami that is home to many Cuban exiles. The neighborhood is known for Cuban culture, food, and cigars.

- The San Blas Archipelago, off the northeastern coast of Panama, is home to the Kuna Yala—an indigenous people that inhabit its 365 coastal islands. We sailed the archipelago for a month. One day we found this little round little button of an island with white sand, one palm tree, and a grounded freighter in the background. So we decided to do a 'shipwrecked' triptych. Bekki donned a dress. I rowed her to the island in our dinghy, and then rowed away to photograph. That's trust! Images made while we were cruising the San Blas in our sailboat 2001.

- I don't remember the name of the restaurant in San Salvador (El Salvador) where I met this chef, but I had to take a shot of him and his chef's hat. As you can see, his chef's hat takes half the vertical space of the frame. Found this wonderful background of foliage in the back parking lot. Image taken while cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
