Love the images. Numbers 2 and 3 are my favorites and represent why I want to spend some time in the Caribbean and Central America! We just don’t get many shots like that in Argentina or Canada (my two homes).

Amigo, realmente son fotos espectaculares, muy buenas. Ojalá y que muchos de los fotoreporteros de Oaxaca, que son muy buenos, mantuvieran la humildad de los verdaderos artistas de la lente, como tu lo eres. Saludos.

Love these. Particularly the dancers. There’s just something about expression on the young woman’s face. How long were you guys just in the DR?
