• A landscape (layout) photo taken from the cockpit of a sailboat under sail in the Gulf of Chiriqui, on Panama’s Pacific coast. The horizon bisects the image horizontally, balanced with blue sky above and blue ocean below. Golden clouds can be seen on the left edge of the photo from an off-camera sunset. The forward half of a sailboat’s cockpit, mast, and bow is visible on the right side of the image. Its boom stretches from overhead to the mast in the center of the image, where it intersects with the horizon. A man steers at the helm as the boat plunges into a white foam wave off the forward port quarter, which points the bow towards the horizon line.

    This is one of my favorite photos from my 3-years of cruising the Pacific on our Hallberg-Rassy 42, 'Andante.'  We were sailing in flat seas in the Gulf of Chiriqui as we made our way toward the Panama Canal.  Suddenly, wind and seas perked up with no clouds anywhere.  My friend and accomplished sailor, Chris Brown, on a close reach as the sun set on the horizon.  Transparency taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

  • 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.

  • Taken from the deck of an anchored sailboat, we look six feet down to the blue waters of Bahia Honda, a bay off the Pacific Ocean on the west coast of Panama. Two wooden boats, each about the size of a canoe, float in the blue water with the apex of the canoes close to the camera and the sterns fanning out left and right in opposite directions. Each canoe holds two shirtless boys, ranging in age from 9 to 18-years old. The boys smile as they stare curiously at the sailboat in front of them, which they have paddled out to investigate.

  • Horizontal photo of an artist’s mural painted on the side of a building in the town of Grand-Bourg on the island of Marie-Galante. The mural is a stylized portrait of a man’s long, slender, triangular face. His forehead just above the eyebrows, and bottom of his chin, extend off the top and bottom of the image, forming a tight composition. The artist has rendered the face in shades of light blue with dark shadows of deep black over a light gray concrete background. Patches of concrete show through underneath painted elements of the face’s mottled montage. The subject’s full, closed lips—painted in black on the top lip; and blue on the bottom—center a narrow black jaw and chin that tapers off the bottom edge. Large round light green, mustard yellow, and white eyes, with jet black pupils, stare penetratingly forward over a long thin nose. Green, blue, yellow swirls and splashes of graffiti-styled paint and gray concrete surround the face, which is outlined in a thin white line, making it appear to hover over the background.

  • 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.

Taken from the top of a hill, the photo provides a sweeping view of pineapple fields in the foreground and the island of Molokai on the distant horizon. Five distinct horizontal bands stripe across the image. Deep green pineapple fields, interlaced with terracotta colored access roads, comprise the lower third of the photo. Six tall palm trees form a tight cluster on the edge of the fields in the left third of the image half a mile away. Above the pineapple fields the blue Pacific Ocean, freckled by occasional tiny whitecaps, forms the straits between Maui and Molokai. In the upper third of the image, Molokai’s bluish-gray mountains—the world’s highest sea cliffs—rise from the ocean to reach an altitude of over 3,000 feet.

  • Bright blue sky frames the upper 2/3s of this landscape image. In the lower 1/3 of the image we see blue-green water from the Gulf of Mexico to the left; and a sandy beach to the right. Wave action has dampened the sand at the bottom of the image and to the right further up the beach. 60 feet away 20 Hobie 16 catamaran sailboats are lined up down the beach ready to launch for a race. Every sailboat has the same bright orange mainsail with a white palm tree and darker orange sunset on top of a 3-foot white strip along the bottom of the sail. The masts diminish down to the horizon line. The damp sand between the camera and the sailboats reflects the blue sky and orange sails.

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    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. 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.

  • Off the forward bow of our observation boat, a Hobie 16 catamaran under full sail passes us through the water off our bow. The forward sailor trims the orange and white mainsail and jib into a tight reach as the salt water from the Gulf of Mexico foams up and sprays behind the cat. The aft sailor grips the black tiller rod, focusing intently on the horizon. The Gulf of Mexico comprises the lower two-thirds of the frame—a deep blue backdrop to the Hobie 16 as it passes us in a “swoosh.”

  • This portrait landscape photo is taken from the ridge of a steep mountainside on the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. A stone wall on the left side of the image, which is perpendicular to the camera, follows a two-track road, just below it, off into the distance. Bright green grass in the middle and on both sides of the two-track, provides a series of stripes in the foreground. The mountainside disappears down to the right through palm trees and jungle foliage. About half a mile away another mountain peaks in front of a bright blue sky. In addition to the blue sky and gray stone wall, there are 100 different shades of green throughout the photo, ranging from grass green to dark teal on the distant mountain, which is partially darkened by an overhead cloud.

    Saint Lucia Mountain Road

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    A mountain road on the island of Saint Lucia, part of the Lesser Antilles.  Nothing exceptional about the location—there are millions of similar views throughout the Caribbean.  I just really liked all of the different verdant shades of green; and the composition, with the stone wall and two-track road leading off to the mountain.

  • 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.

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.

  • Vertical photo of a pink brick walkway on Useppa Island, Florida. The walkway fills the lower center third of the image and disappears to the horizon in the center. A thick green canopy of deciduous trees extends to the top of the image which covers the walkway and completely fills the top half of the photo. Blue sky appears through the branches and between the leaves. The overhead sun, filtering through the leaves, casts an intricate shadow of branches and leaves onto the pink walkway. To the left and right of the walkway, underneath the shade of branches, strips of green foliage cover the ground in multiple shades of green. In the distance, on the right third of the image at the horizon line, we can see the blue water of Pine Island Sound. The walkway is deserted.

Its huge, trunk-like branches extend up off the top of the photo and out horizontally off both the left and right side of the image. On the left side of the image two additional trunks support the heavy branches that extend over the walkway. This network of thick branches and multiple trunks forms an angular arch over the walkway. Deciduous tree leaves and palms stretch across the top of the photo. Blue sky appears through the branches and between the leaves.

  • A landscape photo shows a horizon of black silhouetted trees rising up from the horizon, about ¼ mile away. The photo is taken from a dark gray river, its waters seen at the bottom one fifth of the photo. On the left 1/3 of the image, just above the horizon, we see the San Miguel Volcano pushing into the sky, the top half of which is lit by the setting sun. Golden clouds cluster around the volcano’s peak. Behind the volcano we see a peach-colored sky, with gray clouds above, and light blue sky behind the gray clouds at the very top of the photo. The dark gray water of the river reflects peach and blue skylights.

  • Sitting on the observation catamaran I look abeam over the shoulder of a woman with deep red hair and a dark black sweater who is on the left one-third of the image. The right side of her face turns toward the center of the image as she watches a sailboat race. We see the edge of her red framed sunglasses and white temple arm extending back and wrapping over her right ear. Her red hair blows away from me, onto her face. The center and right one-third of the image includes four Hobie 16 sailboats with white and orange sails, racing in the Hobie 16 World race off of Captiva Island, Florida, under a white cloud and bright blue sky. The sailboats and sky are heavily blurred because the image focuses on the woman.
