• Photograph of a sign taken in Key West, Florida. The sign reads “90 Miles to Cuba.” The illustration above the text portrays a Carmen Miranda-like Cuban woman’s head and face. She wears a fruit hat with green leaves and a large red and white bow on the front. The illustration depicts a woman with rosy red cheeks, full red lips, heavily mascarad blue eyelids, and pencil thin eyebrows. Her head is cocked at a slight angle as she appears to be looking over her left shoulder. The white background of the sign contrasts with the faded gray and white boards upon which the sign has been nailed.

  • A dark, landscape photo of a carousel at night in Acapulco, Mexico. This medium shot focuses on one of the carousel seats depicting a mermaid with long golden hair that falls down to her bare shoulders. We view her at a 45-degree angle as she stares wide-eyed to the right side of the image. She has a long but full face, dark red lips, large black heavily-mascarad eyes, and long pencil thin eyebrows. Both forearms bend forward at her elbows in a superwoman pose, as if she is flying over the ocean. Around and above her we see softly glowing white, green, blue, and red 3-inch round decorative lightbulbs underneath the canopy, creating a shine on her glazed head, shoulders, and torso. The deserted motionless carousel, which should be rotating with loud music and filled with smiling happy children, instead conveys a ghostly quiet stillness.

  • A dark, landscape photo of a carousel at night in Acapulco, Mexico. This medium shot focuses on one of the carousel seats: A white horse with its golden mane fills the left 2/3s of the image. His bridle bites into his mouth, as he grimaces and flashes his teeth. Behind, but to the right and forward of the we horse, we see a Disney-like Pluto character. The bald dog’s bulbous red nose points upward. His open mouth, which is curved down at the back of his jaw, and capped by enormous upper teeth, gives him a grotesque, almost fearful expression—as if something is pursuing him. In the upper right corner of the photo, dimly lit green lightbulbs surround an out-of-focus clown portrait in an oval frame.

  • Horizontal photo of a 1940s vintage pickup truck that has been abandoned on the island of Maui, Hawaii. The photo was taken from the right side of the truck, with the front of the truck pointing to the image’s right. The truck’s bulbous rounded cab appears just large enough for two people. The right front tire has been removed underneath the fender. A rusted wheel sits directly on the ground. The truck’s patchy blue paint—light sky blue to a deep azure—makes the truck pop against the dark brown and green hillside in the background. Dark brown rust spots punctuate and accent the blue exterior. In the top right corner of the photo the cab of another abandoned truck, visible over the blue truck’s fender, faces the opposite direction—as if two lonely friends sit silently together.

  • A horizontal photo of a man hand cutting and rolling dried tobacco leaves at the Cuba Tobacco Cigar Company in Little Havana, Miami. The man, sitting, faces the camera. We see his chest, arms, and hands. He wears a black T-shirt covered by a maroon-colored apron with gold trim on the sides and around the U-shaped neck. He holds an almost finished, wrapped cigar in his left hand as he uses his left hand to adhere the loose edge of a leaf to the tip of the cigar. The worker’s fingers are stained brown from working with the tobacco leaves. He works over a plastic cutting board—its cracks and cervices also stained brown from the dark, dried leaves. On the left side of the cutting board a small pair of stainless steel trimming scissors lies atop of an oval-shaped steel cutting blade. Discarded tobacco leaf remnants cover the chipped, wooden table on the left and right side of the cutting board.

    Hand Rolling Cigars

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    I shot several images of the Cuba Tobacco Cigar Company during a shooting trip to Little Havana in Miami. A worker hand cuts and hand rolls cigars in the store. Little Havana is a neighborhood in Miami that is home to many Cuban exiles. The neighborhood is known for Cuban culture, food, and cigars.

  • Off the forward bow of our observation boat, a Hobie 16 catamaran under full sail hikes up out of the water in front of us. Leaning heavily to port, its forward starboard pontoon flies 4-5 feet in the air out of the blue Gulf of Mexico. Only the forward part of the white port-side pontoon is visible—the aft is buried deep in the water as the Hobie jets past us at 15-20 knots. The cat’s black mast leans 45-degrees to port, jib and mainsail stretched tight in the wind. The sailor closest to me in blue hikes out over the starboard side of the pontoon. His companion in yellow leans further out to starboard, tethered with a safety harness that keeps him from flying off the boat.

    Hiking Out

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    The 22nd Hobie 16 World race was held on Captiva Island, Florida, on November, 2019.  Sailors hike out to windward to counter the force of the wind on the sails during one of the races.  The starboard pontoon is about 5-6 feet out of the water.

  • We see a landscape shot of open sky where blue clouds, offset against a deep blue sky, cap off a small strip of dark blue water in the bottom eighth of the photo. On the horizon line, intersecting sky and water, we see eleven Hobie 16 catamarans, orange and white sails piercing the skyline, spread out across the image as they race each other into the wind.

  • A landscape photo of green plastic fishnet crumpled into a pile on the beach in Huatulco, Mexico. The green fishnet, a twisted jumble of netting ranging in color from a dark teal to a light forest green, fills the image. On the left third of the photo, two yellow buoys—the size of large softballs—nestle against each other just underneath the fishnet. A ¼-inch yellow plastic twisted line threads through the buoys, swirling and looping around the image, in and out of the green fishnet.

  • This landscape layout photo shows a street scene in Huatulco, Mexico. At the bottom of the image, we see the street, just above which there is a 9-inch curb and sidewalk. The back of the sidewalk intersects with an orange stucco wall at about 1/3 of the image height. A leafless tree trunk extends from the middle of the sidewalk up out of the top of the frame, branching into three smaller trunks in the upper third of the photo. On either side of the tree trunk two men lie asleep on their backs. They lie parallel to each other at an angle to the sidewalk: heads to the left, toros stretching to the curb where their knees bend above the edge, with their feet planted on the street. Street, curb, sidewalk, and tree are all a similar shade of gray. Yellow leaves have blown into the corner of the street and curb. A bright shaft of light spills down just behind the tree, highlighting the orange stucco wall. It’s a peaceful afternoon siesta in Huatulco.

    Huatulco Siesta

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    Walking around Huatulco, Mexico, one afternoon, I turned the corner to find two men taking a sidewalk siesta in the afternoon heat.  This was one of those photographer moments when panic struck: can I get the camera up, shutter speed set, lens focused, and get the shot off before they stirred?  Yes!  Was it all that time behind the lens that paid off?  Probably not.  They were really zonked out.  (Or maybe a little bit of both.)  This is one of my favorite images from Mexico.  Image made while cruising Mexico in our sailboat 2000.
