• Horizontal photo of an albrijes carving—brightly colored Mexican folk-art sculptures—of a fantastical mythical red bull. We see his torso and head from the right side. Extremely fine detailed albrije patterns completely cover the bull's skin. Colorful patterned strips outline the mouth, nose, eye, and horns. Circular patterns radiate from the chest, side, and hump on the back. These intricate patterns include minute chevrons, diagonal lines, dots, smaller circles, dashes, and stripes in colors of red and orange with accents in yellow and blue. His pink nostril centers over a long, bright pink tongue, which sticks out from his open mouth. Brown horns, accented with similar patterns in dark browns and gold, curve forward and up over the bull's forehead.

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    Red bull alebrijes carving in the Isaias Jimenez’s studio located in the small town of Arrazola, about 4-miles southwest of Oaxaca.  Isaias continues the Oaxacan alebrijes style created by his father Manuel Jiménez Ramírez (who has his own Wikipedia page). Alebrijes are a style of brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of imaginary and mythical creatures. 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.

  • Taken from a drone at night hovering at 30-feet over Ocean Boulevard in South Beach, Miami, the Colony Hotel and Boulevard Hotel fill most of this landscape image. Baby blue lights illuminate the Colony’s façade, and blue neon outlines the letters on the hotel’s inverted-T sign, with the word ‘Colony’ reaching vertically from the second story to the roof. Boulevard Hotel’s red neon vertical outline and red neon sign contrasts dramatically with the Colony’s softer blue theme. Black sky and the dark street frame both hotels in the image.

  • Landscape photo of the Arturo Fuente cigar store in Ybor City, at night. The store front’s Mediterranean tiled roofline angles from the upper right corner down to the lower left corner of the image. In the upper left corner of the image, an oval-shaped neon sign angles 45-degrees out from the tiled roof. The roofline and sign form an X, framed by a dark black sky. The sign proclaims: “Cigars, Arturo Fuente” in yellow neon letters, surrounded by a red neon border. In the lower right third of the image an oval varnished wooden sign states “Metropolitan Cigars” in yellow letters over the top of a rounded, arched wooden door frame.

  • Landscape photo of the Arturo Fuente cigar store in Ybor City, at night. We see the building at an angle, as the photograph was taken from the right-front side of the store looking down the sidewalk to the left. Incandescent lights underneath a four-foot-wide overhang, supported by three pairs of black metal posts, illuminate the storefront in a warm glow. An oval-shaped neon sign protrudes perpendicularly from the tiled roof, in front of a black night sky, proclaiming: “Cigars, Arturo Fuente” in yellow neon, surrounded by a red neon border. The sidewalk is vacant underneath Ybor City’s globe-clustered streetlights which are visible down to the horizon.

  • A vertical photo of an exterior church wall in Huatulco, Mexico. The wall is painted bright red, which glows brightly in the early morning sunrise, as the sun tips over the horizon. A window in the shape of a crucifix, constructed of narrow 4-inch glass strips, angles from the bottom right third of the image and extends to the top where it intersects at the center edge. The window’s glass is set several inches back into the red stucco wall, such that we only see the dark shadows of the cross in the window, due to the angle of the sun. In the lower third of the image, we see another shadow of a crucifix mounted somewhere in the church’s front lawn. The cross-shadow points toward the upper center of the photo. Two cross-shadows angled onto a bright red wall in the morning sun.

  • A Rastafarian man, on the island of St. Martin in the Caribbean, smiles gently at the camera. His shoulders and face are directly lit by the sun, which is high and to the left, leaving the right side of his face in shadow. A white moustache and beard, knotted four inches below his chin, contrasts dramatically against his black face. He wears a multicolored knitted cap: pink above his forehead, yellow in the middle, and spring green at the top. The hat bends backwards away from the camera due to the weight of hair inside. He wears a plain white shirt. Above his shoulders, swirls of dark green foliage and bright blue sky blur around him in the background.

  • Landscape portrait of a Kuna woman in the Guna Yala region of Panama. We see the right side of her face, which is exposed to the sun, as she gazes off-camera to the right. She smiles happily. A gold nugget, which glints in the sunlight, pierces the lower part of her nose. On her head she wears a long red cotton scarf, with yellow accents, which trails off her shoulders and below the image frame on the lower left. Bangs hang down from underneath the scarf and sweep across her forehead. She also wears a light blue cotton blouse with white and darker blue floral prints—and a necklace of tiny red beads looped into multiple stranded layers. Behind her a blurred ocean and sky forms a solid blue in the distance.
