- 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.
- 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.
- During one of our many trips to Maui we rented a car and drove the back road to Hana, along Maui's north shore—including its 617 turns and 59 bridges over 52-miles of mostly dirt road. Off of a side road I spotted a make-shift junk yard of abandoned trucks. Need I say more? Also see 'Graffiti Truck' for another series of images from this shoot.

- 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.

- Pastel blue shutters frame a white door with textured glass in the town of Grand-Bourg, on the island of Marie-Galante. I often walk into these small towns with busy traffic and and run-down infrastructure thinking, "what am I going to shoot here?" Finding shots like this is like a treasure hunt. Image made while sailing with friends in the West Indies.
- 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.

- 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.

- Wall of colorful Mayan textiles hanging in a market in Chichicastenango, Guatemala. This image taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat from 2000-2001. We rented a car in Guatemala City and drove to the city of Antigua and the surrounding area, including Chichicastenango. I titled this "Mayan Spirits" not only because of the Mayan stories and themes embedded into this wonderfully colorful embroidery—but also because you can almost feel the ancestral spirits everywhere in this magical country.
- 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. This lone fisherman worked in solitude as the quiet of the evening mist closed around him. Image taken while cruising the San Blas in our sailboat 2001.
- 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.
