- 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. The only way to truly experience the islands is by sailboat, and we sailed them for a month. Women wear mola blouses with patterned skirts, red and yellow head scarfs, and arm and leg beads. This intricate geometric beaded pattern needed to be hand strung, bead-by-bead, to display correctly on her small legs. Image made while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- Like all third-world countries, vendors find any available space to sell their wares. This woman spread her corn on a Chichicastenango street. While not as colorful as most of my other images, the white corn spread out on the street, and her sweet smile, compelled me to take the shot. Transparency taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- Prior to Ash Wednesday the village of Tilcajete, near Oaxaca, celebrates carnival with imaginative animal and creature masks in chanting, grunting, colorful processions. Here, a carnival celebrant parades through the dusty village streets with his group of similarly-costumed friends. The cowbells strapped around his waist clang and and jangle as he grunts and dances. 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.
- During an early morning photo walkabout in Huatulco, Mexico, I found a red church in full sun, with a shadow of the cross in the front of the church in close juxtaposition to the cross shaped window. For Christian cross lovers (as opposed to Christopher Cross lovers). Image taken while cruising Mexico in our sailboat 2000.
- The town of Grand-Bourg on the island of Marie-Galante, which is part of Guadeloupe, showcases some amazing murals that most visitors don't even notice. Painted on walls and buildings, framed by rusty roofs and chained link fences, I admit these murals can be somewhat camouflaged by the village. Artist unknown. Part of a diptych. Shot while sailing with friends in the West Indies.
- Elaborate lighting systems illuminate South Beach's Ocean Drive at night. This is one of a series of drone shots which required three separate trips to South Beach. The shots were technically difficult because of pedestrians, vehicles, and stiff breezes off of the Atlantic Ocean. This shot is of the Avalon hotel with a vintage yellow and white 1957 Chevy convertible parked in front.

- People gather in the Plaza de la Danza (literally, "dance square") at dusk, adjacent to the Basilica of Our Lady of Solitude in Oaxaca, Mexico. Families still gather socially in plazas and squares throughout Mexico. This plaza was very close to our hotel, so we walked past it almost every evening. I thought it was a quintessential Mexican scene: a plaza with families and friends adjacent to the church and lights twinkling on the distant mountain as twilight fades to night.
