• A close-up landscape photo of a Kuna woman in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The top of the frame starts just below her shoulders and continues several inches below her waist. Arms folded at her waist, each arm is wrapped with a single strand of colorful beads, with clusters of blue, red, and yellow sections. A watch is strapped over the wrist of her topmost arm. Her yellow print blouse displays large gray flowers outlined in black, with black leaves surrounding the buds. Her dark blue skirt features large beige-colored abstract patterns. She is a showcase of multiple colors.

    Beaded Armbands

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    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.  The only way to truly experience the islands is by sailboat, and we sailed them for a month.  Women wear mola blouses with patterned skirts, red and yellow head scarfs, arm and leg beads—as shown here.  I love the watch over the armbands.  Taken while we were cruising the San Blas in our sailboat 2001.

  • Vertical photograph of a young Kuna woman in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The image focuses on her legs—spanning the bottom of her black and yellow patterned skirt, hemmed just above her knees, down to her feet. Her legs are tightly wrapped with yellow and terra cotta colored beads that form a geometric pattern on the calves of both legs. The colored lines change direction at right angles, similar to ancient Greek border patterns. She stands on compressed, matted green grass.

She has painted her face in light-blue paint, which covers her forehead down below her neck. Three blue vertical lines run down her face, forehead, eyes, cheeks, and chin. On top of her head, an American Indian-style headdress sprouts peacock feathers which stick up into the sky. Large multicolored earrings dangle from her ears. Four beaded necklaces drape over her jaguar-print shirt, underneath a long sleeve V-neck blouse with a faux fur collar. She carries a small human skull on a stick in her right hand.

  • 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.

  • Portrait medium-shot photo of a statue of the Raices Fountain in San Juan, Puerto Rico. A family is cast in bronze. We see shoulders and head of a small young girl sitting in the lower 1/3 of the photo, facing left, off-camera. Sitting behind the girl, in the center of the image, a sitting woman also faces left, her naked torso shimmering in the water of the fountain. Behind her, in the upper right, stands a man facing the camera. His head and shoulders are cocked 45-degrees to the left, as he looks to the upper right corner of the image—his arms extended over his head. We see blue sky in the left side of the photo. Thousands of waterdrops, suspended in the air throughout the image, glitter in the sun, frozen by fast shutter speed.

  • 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, but with her mouth closed. 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.

  • 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.

  • Horizontal landscape photo taken from the cockpit of a 43-foot sloop sailing off the coast of Dominica in the West Indies. We look over the yacht’s port side, at a 45-degree angle, across the 2-foot teak deck, underneath two chrome stanchions which form an inverted V-shape, past the winch to the blue ocean and verdant green coastline of Dominica. Blue sky dotted by white cumulous clouds appears in the upper third of the image. In the shadows of the hard dodger, a woman gazes out over this tropical scene as the sailboat slices through the Caribbean sea under full sail.

  • Shipwreck. This image is a medium landscape photo of a tiny island in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The island, covered in white sand, is about 50-feet long. A lone green palm tree with six palm fronds juts out of the sand 15-feet into the air. A woman sits on a bleached-out log to the left and slightly in front of the palm tree—her head buried into her arms which rest on her knees. Her medium-length blond hair covers her face. Several hundred yards in the distance we see a large container ship, listing to port, that has run aground onto a reef.

  • Shipwrecked. This image is a landscape photo of a tiny island in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The island, covered in white sand, is about 50-feet long. Crystal clear trquoise-colored water surrounds the tiny island in front. Behind the island we see dark blue water of the Caribbean Ocean, and a light blue sky overhead. A lone green palm tree with six palm fronds juts out of the sand 15-feet into the air. A woman stands on a large driftwood log on the left edge of the island. She gazes through binoculars towards the left edge of the photo, searching for rescue.

The sun-bleached driftwood log that she stands on is surrounded by white sand, but the ocean is only a few feet away.

  • 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.
