• 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.

    30 Knots in the Gulf of Chiriqui

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    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 landscape photo of a sunset on Captiva Island, Florida. A dark golden sky at the horizon, visible on the upper third of the image, extends upward to a light gray after the sun has set. Wisps of gray and amber-colored clouds stretch across the middle of the sky. Bands of light and dark bluish-gray waves reflect the gold-colored sky in the lower 2/3 of the image. A young boy and girl, visible as dark silhouettes, play in the shallow waves breaking on the beach in the lower right third corner of the photo.

  • A horizontal photo of a man hand cutting and rolling dried tobacco leaves at the Cuba Tobacco Cigar Company in Little Havana, Miami. The image focuses on a row of 27 double-stacked freshly rolled cigars, which are perpendicular to the camera in the lower-half of the photo. The dark tan-colored cigars—their pointed tips have not yet been trimmed—rest atop a scuffed worktable, stained in a reddish mahogany. Small 1-inch blocks of wood lie on either side of the cigar row, preventing the cylindrical cigars from rolling off the table’s edge. In the top half of the photo, the man, blurred in the background several feet away, sits facing 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 wipes his hands with a gold-colored cloth. His right forearm rests on a plastic cutting board adjacent to an oval-shaped steel cutting blade.

  • 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.

  • Horizontal landscape photo of a sunset at Naples Beach, Florida. The sun, visible as a bright pinpoint just left of center on the horizon, 1/5th from the bottom of the photo, burns through a micro strip of dark gray clouds just at the ocean’s edge. The setting sun casts a golden sheen across a black-teal almost waveless Gulf of Mexico. The underside of clouds stretching across the upper 2/3 of the photo glow a faint but deep yellow gold from the diminishing sun. Distinctive colorful shapes from many other smaller clouds—bright white, dark gray, and deep gold—explode across a dark blue sky just above the horizon, like puffs of smoke from exploding fireworks.

  • A vertical portrait of a mother and daughter on the island of St. Martin in the Caribbean. Mother and daughter fill most of the frame, except for a huge white cloud that extends from the mother’s shoulders to the top of the image—apart from blue sky in the upper left and right corners of the photo. The mother, in her twenties, wears a gold sleeveless tank top and a gold necklace with a heart-shaped pendant, which contrasts brightly against her dark skin. She smiles broadly as she faces the camera. Her hands braid her daughter’s hair, who sits in front of and below her. The daughter, who also looks directly at the camera, scrunches up her eyes, nose, and mouth—reacting to mom who is pulling her hair into tight braids.

    Reluctant Braids

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    On the island of Saint Martin, near the public markets, I came across a mother braiding her daughter's hair.  As you can see, daughter wasn't too happy about it.

  • A horizontal photo of Pedro Berro, owner of Cuban Tobacco Cigar Company, who sits in front of his store in Little Havana, Miami. As he smokes one of his cigars, his right elbow rests on a square table with the name of the store visible on the surface. His right hand holds a dark, fat, ash-laden, lit cigar inches below his chin. He stares at a 45-degree angle toward the right side of the image as he exhales a small cloud of dense white smoke. Behind him, through the glass window of the storefront, visible above Pedro and to the left, a full-size wood carving of a man sits facing backwards on a simple chair. The man rests his right arm on the top of the chair as his left arm, bent at his left elbow, holds a wooden cigar to his mouth. The statue’s pose, actions, and direction of his gaze almost perfectly mirror Pedro. We see additional cigar-related paraphernalia in the window adjacent to the statue: a B&W photograph of another man smoking, what appears to be the straw hat of the man in the photo on the surface below, and another, smaller, wooden statue of an Indian chief with full headdress holding a cylindrical collection of cigars in his right hand. The Indian stares off in the same direction as Pedro and the other statue.

  • This landscape photo, from the Boca del Toro region of Panama, shows a wooden pier jutting out from the right side of the image. The pier’s walkway is exactly on the horizon line. At the end of the pier, almost on the left side of the image, we see three separate thatched roofs held up by thin log supports. A soft golden light from the setting sun highlight the thin edge of the pier and thatched roofs facing the camera. The water, a muddy blue-teal pastel, is calm except for long ripples that turn the reflected roofs into dark brown, striated streaks on the surface. A bright blue sky provides a colorful contrast to the bright golden thatched roofs.

    Thatched Cabana Pier

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    The cabana on this pier takes on a golden glow in the setting sun near Bocas del Toro, Panama.  We had no idea that we would never again return: The September 11 terrorist attacks changed the world.  Image taken while cruising Central America in our Hallberg-Rassy HR 42 sailboat 'Andante,' in 2001.

  • A horizontal photo of two men standing adjacent to each other while inspecting a large burlap sack of tobacco leaves. The man on the right holds the bag at a 45-degree angle, such that the man on his left can view the large printing on the surface. The man on the left reaches down with his right hand to hold the bottom of the bag to improve his angle of view. Both men smoke as they inspect the label, blowing puffs of dense white smoke. The man on the left wears a straw fedora had with a straight 3-inch brim and a red and black hat band. Above them on the back wall we see a United States flag, with the flag of Puerto Rico adjacent to the right. On another wall visible to the left, rows of cigars packaged in cellophane sit neatly stacked on dark wooden shelves.
