• A 3-foot wide, shallow basket, made of out thick twigs, shows off 100 or more colorful Mexican peppers that fill the screen with green, yellow, orange, and bright red. Two small, white plastic bowls sit atop the stack of peppers with additional peppers arranged into a design like an opening flower—some leaning over the side of the bowl, and some pointing upwards.

    Benito Juarez Market Peppers

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    Close up of a basket of red and green peppers for sale at the Benito Juarez market in Oaxaca, Mexico. This 3-foot wide basket of peppers completely covered the spectrum from green, yellow, orange, and bright red. 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. While the Benito Juarez Market isn't the only market in Oaxaca, it's a large and vibrant one with over 360 vendors selling ... everything.

    My penchant for color attracted me to this stack of plastic braided ropes in a Chichicastenango market.  The red ropes on top punctuate the predominantly blues and greens underneath.  Shot taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

  • Close-up landscape photo of a woman, perhaps in her fifties, selling white corn at a market in Chichicastenango, Guatemala. In the lower half of the photo she has laid out a sheet of black plastic onto the street, over which she has poured a mound of white corn kernels that form a pyramid in the lower third of the image. In the upper half of the photo we see a large empty burlap gunny sack, laying on the sidewalk, used to transport the corn. She sits adjacent to her corn, with both legs tucked underneath her knees. Her long black hair, which is pulled to the back of her neck, matches her black long-sleeve sweater. She wears a Guatemalan embroidered blouse with red, orange, yellow, and pink flowers, and a dark blue skirt. Her eyes sparkle as she smiles at the camera without parting her lips.

    Chichicastenango Maize

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    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.

    More wonderful geometric patterns and earthen colors in these Guatemalan embroidered ... belts?  I'm not sure exactly what these would be used for.  Perhaps if the cord is worn out on the bell you ring the butler with.  This image works alone, or as a diptych with image #2.  Taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

    Pink and Purple Plastic Baskets

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    Predictable title, but it's descriptive of the subject. This stack of plastic baskets in a Chichicastenango (Guatemala) market was piled indiscriminately in a jumbled mess. Not sure how you would find the just the right basket for you, but it was a fun shot.  Taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
