- I don't remember the name of the restaurant in San Salvador (El Salvador) where I met this chef, but I had to take a shot of him and his chef's hat. As you can see, his chef's hat takes half the vertical space of the frame. Found this wonderful background of foliage in the back parking lot. Image taken while cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.
- 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. Brother and sister looked up and smiled from their dugout canoe as their father delivered fruits on the stern of our sailboat. Image made while we were cruising the San Blas in our sailboat 2001.

We sailed the archipelago for a month, snorkeling and exploring nearby islands. Rebecca painted this image, which is now in our home.

- 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. Walking the beach on one of these many islands, I looked up to see this ketch gently illuminated by the setting sun. Shot while cruising the San Blas in our sailboat 2001.
- A mountain road on the island of Saint Lucia, part of the Lesser Antilles. Nothing exceptional about the location—there are millions of similar views throughout the Caribbean. I just really liked all of the different verdant shades of green; and the composition, with the stone wall and two-track road leading off to the mountain.
- 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, 59 bridges, and over 52-miles of mostly dirt road. This pastoral scene from the Hana Highway depicts Maui's serene landscapes. I love the quiet pastel mood of this photo.
- The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, located about 12-miles northwest of Taos, is purported to be the fifth highest bridge in the U.S., spanning the gorge 650-feet above the Rio Grande. This shot was taken about 1/4 mile north of the bridge. In reviewing the video afterwards, I realized the drone grazed the cliff wall—as evidenced by shaking video. Lucked out again.
- The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, located about 12-miles northwest of Taos, is purported to be the fifth highest bridge in the U.S., spanning the gorge 650-feet above the Rio Grande. I couldn't resist flying my drone underneath the bridge, which was technically challenging from 800-feet away, above the cliff walls, in the bright sun. High five for not crashing the drone!

- 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. Women wear mola blouses with patterned skirts, red and yellow head scarfs, arm and leg beads, long black lines down the nose, and often a gold nose ring. Taken while we were cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

- 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.
- Valles Caldera National Preserve is located in the Jemez Mountain range of northern New Mexico. The volcanic eruption that occurred 1.25-million years ago left behind a 14-mile wide volcanic caldera. As we explored the preserve in our rented Highlander that afternoon, squalls streamed across the basin, illuminated by late afternoon sun.
- People gather in the Plaza de la Danza (literally, "dance square") at dusk, adjacent to the Basilica of Our Lady of Solitude in Oaxaca, Mexico. Families still gather socially in plazas and squares throughout Mexico. This plaza was very close to our hotel, so we walked past it almost every evening. I thought it was a quintessential Mexican scene: a plaza with families and friends adjacent to the church and lights twinkling on the distant mountain as twilight fades to night.

- 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.
- Elaborate lighting systems illuminate South Beach's Ocean Drive at night. This is one of a series of drone shots which required three separate trips to South Beach. The shots were technically difficult because of pedestrians, vehicles, and stiff breezes off of the Atlantic Ocean. This shot is of the McAlpin and Ocean Plaza Hotels.
