• A close-up landscape photo of a Kuna woman in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The top of the frame starts just below her shoulders and continues several inches below her waist. Arms folded at her waist, each arm is wrapped with a single strand of colorful beads, with clusters of blue, red, and yellow sections. A watch is strapped over the wrist of her topmost arm. Her yellow print blouse displays large gray flowers outlined in black, with black leaves surrounding the buds. Her dark blue skirt features large beige-colored abstract patterns. She is a showcase of multiple colors.

  • Vertical photograph of a young Kuna woman in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The image focuses on her legs—spanning the bottom of her black and yellow patterned skirt, hemmed just above her knees, down to her feet. Her legs are tightly wrapped with yellow and terra cotta colored beads that form a geometric pattern on the calves of both legs. The colored lines change direction at right angles, similar to ancient Greek border patterns. She stands on compressed, matted green grass.

  • This horizontal landscape photo shows a sunset in the Guna Yala region of Panama. Taken from the deck of an anchored sailboat, ocean comprises the lower 1/5th of the image. The balance of the image consists of a wall of lavender-colored clouds with a yellow setting sun peeking through the scattered cloud layers in the left upper third.

  • This landscape photo, from the Guna Yala region of Panama, shows dark powder blue water below the horizon, in the middle of the image; and a similarly dark powder blue sky—all through the filter of an imperceptibly light fog. In the middle of the photo, at the horizon line, a small round island is visible. The island is 150-200 feet away, and maybe another 100-feet in diameter. A cluster of dark green and dark teal palm trees rises from every inch of the island, 50-60 feet high. Intersecting the lower left third of the image we see a dugout canoe which is almost parallel to the lens. The stern is slightly more distant than the bow, which is tied to a stick jutting out of the water two canoe-lengths to the right. A fisherman sits in the canoe, his back to us, arms stretched out sideways, as he manages the fishing line.

  • A vertical head and shoulder portrait of a Kuna woman in the Guna Yala region of Panama. A red cotton scarf covers medium-length black hair. She wears a lime-green blouse with large red and yellow flowers which is lit in the dazzling sun. Bright red and blue beads wrap tightly around her forearms from wrists to below her elbows. A long, thin black vertical tattoo traces from the tip of her nose to her forehead. She looks down at her gnarled hands are she sews a Kuna mola. Equal parts of sky, island, and ocean blur the background.

  • Landscape portrait of a Kuna woman in the Guna Yala region of Panama. We see the right side of her face, which is exposed to the sun, as she gazes off-camera to the right. She smiles, but with her mouth closed. A gold nugget, which glints in the sunlight, pierces the lower part of her nose. On her head she wears a long red cotton scarf, with yellow accents, which trails off her shoulders and below the image frame on the lower left. Bangs hang down from underneath the scarf and sweep across her forehead. She also wears a light blue cotton blouse with white and darker blue floral prints—and a necklace of tiny red beads looped into multiple stranded layers. Behind her a blurred ocean and sky forms a solid blue in the distance.

  • This landscape photo, from the Guna Yala region of Panama, is taken from the perspective of standing on an island beach. In the lower 1/5 of the image we see a small flat wave receding from a dark mauve colored sand. The edge of the water ripples and foams as it pulls away from the beach. Above the receding wave, up to the horizon line in the middle of the photo, various shades of teal-colored water wrinkle from a soft breeze. In the middle of the photo, about 150-feet away, we see a ketch at anchor, its bow facing left into the wind. The setting sun, which is off camera to the right, illuminates the port side of the yacht in a soft golden light. Directly behind the sailboat, and perhaps another 100-feet distant, a small island with dark palm trees provides a backdrop to the bow, stern, and top of the glowing sailboat. A blue sky peeks through many clouds in the top half of the image. Clouds on the right side of the photo are also illuminated by the setting sun, which accents the blue sky with shades of gold, yellow, gray, and lavender.

  • A landscape photo of a tropical island taken in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The upper left side of the image shows dark green palm trees leaning to the right over the beach and ocean. In the lower left we see several waterlogged logs that have drifted ashore onto the beige sand. The beach arcs away from the lens in a crescent, forming a light-teal colored bay in the center of the photo. Deeper shades of teal are seen on the right side of the photo as the shallow bay falls into the depths of the Caribbean Ocean. On the horizon we see a band of white clouds, with blue sky overhead.

  • This landscape photo, taken in the Guna Yala region of Panama, looks down into a dugout canoe at two Kuna children. The canoe slices the rectangular image at almost a 45-degree angle, from upper right to lower left. Sitting in the canoe, a sister and brother look up at the camera, curious but unsmiling. The eight-year-old sister steadies herself with her right hand on the starboard gunwale, her left arm around her younger brother, who is perhaps six years old. They both wear shorts and T-shirts, and their legs and knees are scuffed with dirt. She wears a light turquoise sleeveless T-shirt. Her brother wears a green T-shirt with a bright orange collar and orange sleeves down to his elbows. They wait for their father, who is selling us fruits and vegetables onboard our sailboat. The inside of the canoe has small puddles of water. At the top and bottom of the frame we see deep blue water of the Caribbean Ocean.

  • Shipwreck. This image is a medium landscape photo of a tiny island in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The island, covered in white sand, is about 50-feet long. A lone green palm tree with six palm fronds juts out of the sand 15-feet into the air. A woman sits on a bleached-out log to the left and slightly in front of the palm tree—her head buried into her arms which rest on her knees. Her medium-length blond hair covers her face. Several hundred yards in the distance we see a large container ship, listing to port, that has run aground onto a reef.

The sun-bleached driftwood log that she stands on is surrounded by white sand, but the ocean is only a few feet away. Beyond the island a dark blue Caribbean Sea churns over nearby coral reefs, while the blue sky darkens behind her.

  • This vertical photograph, taken in the Guna Yala region of Panama shows, multiple bands of sand, water, and sky: from light beige of the sandy beach at the bottom, to a darker beige where water recedes back into the ocean, to a light teal of the waves as they first make contact with the sandy beach, to a dark teal 30-feet away, to a dark blue on the ocean’s horizon, to a sky blue with a few white puffy clouds above the horizon.
