• Photograph of a sign taken in Key West, Florida. The sign reads “90 Miles to Cuba.” The illustration above the text portrays a Carmen Miranda-like Cuban woman’s head and face. She wears a fruit hat with green leaves and a large red and white bow on the front. The illustration depicts a woman with rosy red cheeks, full red lips, heavily mascarad blue eyelids, and pencil thin eyebrows. Her head is cocked at a slight angle as she appears to be looking over her left shoulder. The white background of the sign contrasts with the faded gray and white boards upon which the sign has been nailed.

  • A horizontal landscape photo of a white stucco wall in Old Town, San Diego. The wall is brightly illuminated by the full-on overhead sun. A vertical door, just left of center, is framed with weathered wood painted shades of olive and teal green. Above the door a six-foot long lintel is embedded into the stucco wall. Eight rectangular panels, carved into the door, cast shadows below each panel. The olive-teal colored lintel and door contrast dramatically against the white stucco wall. At the right side of the image, shadows from a nearby tree frame the edge of the photo in a narrow strip along the vertical length of the white wall.

  • 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.

    Crimson Crosses

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    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.

  • This landscape layout photo shows a street scene in Huatulco, Mexico. At the bottom of the image, we see the street, just above which there is a 9-inch curb and sidewalk. The back of the sidewalk intersects with an orange stucco wall at about 1/3 of the image height. A leafless tree trunk extends from the middle of the sidewalk up out of the top of the frame, branching into three smaller trunks in the upper third of the photo. On either side of the tree trunk two men lie asleep on their backs. They lie parallel to each other at an angle to the sidewalk: heads to the left, toros stretching to the curb where their knees bend above the edge, with their feet planted on the street. Street, curb, sidewalk, and tree are all a similar shade of gray. Yellow leaves have blown into the corner of the street and curb. A bright shaft of light spills down just behind the tree, highlighting the orange stucco wall. It’s a peaceful afternoon siesta in Huatulco.

    Huatulco Siesta

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    Walking around Huatulco, Mexico, one afternoon, I turned the corner to find two men taking a sidewalk siesta in the afternoon heat.  This was one of those photographer moments when panic struck: can I get the camera up, shutter speed set, lens focused, and get the shot off before they stirred?  Yes!  Was it all that time behind the lens that paid off?  Probably not.  They were really zonked out.  (Or maybe a little bit of both.)  This is one of my favorite images from Mexico.  Image made while cruising Mexico in our sailboat 2000.

  • A brightly lit vertical photo, taken from the bottom of a stairway with 12 steps, looks up to the top of the stairs. At the top we see bright light coming in from an invisible window off to the left of the landing. Bright yellow light illuminates the landing at the top of the stairs, which refracts down onto orange-colored walls and orange carpeted stairs below. On the wall at the top of the stairs we see abstract artwork of sailboat sails within a vertical white frame around it. Inside the white frame is a lavender rectangular border. Inside the lavender border is a black rectangular border. Inside the black border is a yellow rectangular border. Inside the yellow rectangular border, we see a gradient background—from solid yellow at the top to a solid red ocean with whitecaps at the bottom. The yellow-red background provides a backdrop to the orange sails bending in the wind. A brown varnished wooden banister, reflecting deep orange tones from the adjacent walls, reaches from the lower left bottom of the image to the top left, just in front of the landing.

  • A dark, landscape photo of a carousel at night in Acapulco, Mexico. This medium shot focuses on one of the carousel seats: A white horse with its golden mane fills the left 2/3s of the image. His bridle bites into his mouth, as he grimaces and flashes his teeth. Behind, but to the right and forward of the we horse, we see a Disney-like Pluto character. The bald dog’s bulbous red nose points upward. His open mouth, which is curved down at the back of his jaw, and capped by enormous upper teeth, gives him a grotesque, almost fearful expression—as if something is pursuing him. In the upper right corner of the photo, dimly lit green lightbulbs surround an out-of-focus clown portrait in an oval frame. The deserted motionless carousel, which should be rotating with loud music and filled with smiling happy children, instead conveys a ghostly quiet stillness.

  • A dark, underexposed landscape photo of a carousel at night in Acapulco, Mexico. The full width of the motionless, empty carousel fills the frame horizontally, with black sky in the upper third of the image. Beneath the canopy, softly glowing white, green, blue, and red 3-inch round decorative lightbulbs cast a faint sheen onto the brass poles below, which thread dimly lit vacant horses hovering over the floor.

  • A dark, landscape photo of a carousel at night in Acapulco, Mexico. This medium shot focuses on one of the carousel seats depicting a mermaid with long golden hair that falls down to her bare shoulders. We view her at a 45-degree angle as she stares wide-eyed to the right side of the image. She has a long but full face, dark red lips, large black heavily-mascarad eyes, and long pencil thin eyebrows. Both forearms bend forward at her elbows in a superwoman pose, as if she is flying over the ocean. Around and above her we see softly glowing white, green, blue, and red 3-inch round decorative lightbulbs underneath the canopy, creating a shine on her glazed head, shoulders, and torso.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Reluctant Braids

    $822.00 – $2,832.00

  • This portrait landscape photo is taken from the side of a mountain at about 2,500 feet of elevation on the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. It looks out to the two pitons (ancient volcanic plugs) in the upper center of the photograph, perhaps a mile or more away. At the bottom of the image, we see multicolored rooftops of the town of Soufriere in the valley. On the right side of the photo, Soufriere Bay blends seamlessly into the Caribbean Sea and a blue sky overhead. Green branches from nearby trees, dip into the sky from the top left and top right side of the photo, framing the two pitons, the village, and the Caribbean between them.

    Two Pitons

    $822.00 – $2,832.00

  • This portrait landscape photo is taken from the ridge of a steep mountainside on the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. A stone wall on the left side of the image, which is perpendicular to the camera, follows a two-track road, just below it, off into the distance. Bright green grass in the middle and on both sides of the two-track, provides a series of stripes in the foreground. The mountainside disappears down to the right through palm trees and jungle foliage. About half a mile away another mountain peaks in front of a bright blue sky. In addition to the blue sky and gray stone wall, there are 100 different shades of green throughout the photo, ranging from grass green to dark teal on the distant mountain, which is partially darkened by an overhead cloud.

    Saint Lucia Mountain Road

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    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.

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.

  • A close-up landscape layout photo of handmade maracas clustered together in a public market in San Salvador, El Salvador. The maracas are made from small round gourds, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Each set of maracas has been carved with matching patterns (zigzags, pinwheels, nested arcs, clouds, and cactus leaves) and painted red with accent colors of dark lime green, dark teal, dark blue, and deep purple. Red wooden handles have been attached to each gourd. We can only see the maraca heads in the photo except for two maracas paired together vertically in the left third of the image—the maraca heads at the top of the image, and the handles at the bottom. This pair rests on other maraca heads underneath. Both red maracas have been carved with the words “El Salvador,” which have been painted in a dark blue around a carved-out background painted white.

He faces the camera directly. In the bottom of the frame, we see his torso just above his elbows. His right shoulder is positioned just below center in the image. He leans to his left, such that his face is in the right 1/3 of the frame. He wears a 2-foot-high white chef’s hat that leans upward and to the right at a 25-degree angle.

The photo is taken from a dark gray river, its waters seen at the bottom one fifth of the photo. On the left 1/3 of the image, just above the horizon, we see the San Miguel Volcano pushing into the sky, the top half of which is lit by the setting sun.

  • This landscape photo, from the Boca del Toro region of Panama, shows a wooden pier jutting out from the right side of the image. The pier’s walkway is exactly on the horizon line. At the end of the pier, almost on the left side of the image, we see three separate thatched roofs held up by thin log supports. A soft golden light from the setting sun highlight the thin edge of the pier and thatched roofs facing the camera. The water, a muddy blue-teal pastel, is calm except for long ripples that turn the reflected roofs into dark brown, striated streaks on the surface. A bright blue sky provides a colorful contrast to the bright golden thatched roofs.

  • This landscape photo, from the Guna Yala region of Panama, shows dark powder blue water below the horizon, in the middle of the image; and a similarly dark powder blue sky—all through the filter of an imperceptibly light fog. In the middle of the photo, at the horizon line, a small round island is visible. The island is 150-200 feet away, and maybe another 100-feet in diameter. A cluster of dark green and dark teal palm trees rises from every inch of the island, 50-60 feet high. Intersecting the lower left third of the image we see a dugout canoe which is almost parallel to the lens. The stern is slightly more distant than the bow, which is tied to a stick jutting out of the water two canoe-lengths to the right. A fisherman sits in the canoe, his back to us, arms stretched out sideways, as he manages the fishing line.

  • This landscape photo, from the Guna Yala region of Panama, is taken from the perspective of standing on an island beach. In the lower 1/5 of the image we see a small flat wave receding from a dark mauve colored sand. The edge of the water ripples and foams as it pulls away from the beach. Above the receding wave, up to the horizon line in the middle of the photo, various shades of teal-colored water wrinkle from a soft breeze. In the middle of the photo, about 150-feet away, we see a ketch at anchor, its bow facing left into the wind. The setting sun, which is off camera to the right, illuminates the port side of the yacht in a soft golden light. Directly behind the sailboat, and perhaps another 100-feet distant, a small island with dark palm trees provides a backdrop to the bow, stern, and top of the glowing sailboat. A blue sky peeks through many clouds in the top half of the image. Clouds on the right side of the photo are also illuminated by the setting sun, which accents the blue sky with shades of gold, yellow, gray, and lavender.

  • This landscape photo, taken in the Guna Yala region of Panama, looks down into a dugout canoe at two Kuna children. The canoe slices the rectangular image at almost a 45-degree angle, from upper right to lower left. Sitting in the canoe, a sister and brother look up at the camera, curious but unsmiling. The eight-year-old sister steadies herself with her right hand on the starboard gunwale, her left arm around her younger brother, who is perhaps six years old. They both wear shorts and T-shirts, and their legs and knees are scuffed with dirt. She wears a light turquoise sleeveless T-shirt. Her brother wears a green T-shirt with a bright orange collar and orange sleeves down to his elbows. They wait for their father, who is selling us fruits and vegetables onboard our sailboat. The inside of the canoe has small puddles of water. At the top and bottom of the frame we see deep blue water of the Caribbean Ocean.

    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.

  • Shipwrecked. This image is a landscape photo of a tiny island in the Guna Yala region of Panama. We see a medium close-up of a woman standing on a large driftwood log in the center of the frame. She gazes through binoculars towards the left edge of the photo, searching for rescue. A stiff wind blows her medium-length blond hair off of her face. The sun-bleached driftwood log that she stands on is surrounded by white sand, but the ocean is only a few feet away. Beyond the island a dark blue Caribbean Sea churns over nearby coral reefs, while the blue sky darkens behind her.

    Shipwrecked (3/3)

    $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.  We sailed the archipelago for a month.  One day we found this little round little button of an island with white sand, one palm tree, and a grounded freighter in the background.  So we decided to do a 'shipwrecked' triptych.  Bekki donned a dress.  I rowed her to the island in our dinghy, and then rowed away to photograph.  That's trust!  Images made while we were cruising the San Blas in our sailboat 2001.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A landscape photo of a tropical island taken in the Guna Yala region of Panama. The upper left side of the image shows dark green palm trees leaning to the right over the beach and ocean. In the lower left we see several waterlogged logs that have drifted ashore onto the beige sand. The beach arcs away from the lens in a crescent, forming a light-teal colored bay in the center of the photo. Deeper shades of teal are seen on the right side of the photo as the shallow bay falls into the depths of the Caribbean Ocean. On the horizon we see a band of white clouds, with blue sky overhead.

  • This vertical photograph, taken in the Guna Yala region of Panama shows, multiple bands of sand, water, and sky: from light beige of the sandy beach at the bottom, to a darker beige where water recedes back into the ocean, to a light teal of the waves as they first make contact with the sandy beach, to a dark teal 30-feet away, to a dark blue on the ocean’s horizon, to a sky blue with a few white puffy clouds above the horizon. On the right side of the image, a mile or more away, we see two tiny islands just above the horizon line.

  • 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.
