Some of my photographs have been “packed away” in backup, and after a period in limbo, are now accessible to me again.
I’ve been poking through these thousands of images. It’s fascinating to see what attracted my eye ten years ago, and how I approached my subjects, compared to how I might see and photograph them today. One of these days I might try to describe the differences in how I see today, versus ten years ago.
Here are a small selection of the images.
Than, as now, the natural world and color attract me.
Toad in the Shower, Costa Rica.
My entomologist friend Matt Pelikan says: “Matt Pelikan ID’d these: The robber fly is a female Efferia aestuans, and the prey is a male eastern forktail, Ishnura verticalis.”
The Spider Who Could Span a Two-by-Four. Costa Rica.
A Spider’s Dinner, Costa Rica.
Broken Pavement, New York City
“LLANTAS WAM” might be my favorite business name ever, anywhere. Just off the Pan American Highway, San Isidro de El General, Costa Rica.
