Palette of Spices
Colorful spices being sold at an Indian market in Ecuador. They are so aromatic. The way they are presented, they look like dabs of paints on an artist’s palette.
A Thrill Ride
After the exciting dives in Galapagos, we ventured out to the Northeast Andes in Ecuador. Sitting in the rooftop of a train and going through a tunnel… It is so risky and scary. You can easily have your head chopped off if you don’t duck down. You will never see this in the States…
So Curious
A spotted hawkfish (Cirrhitichthys aprinus) in Galapagos peeks out from his black coral home. You see these guys looking curiously at you when you dive in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region.
Chickens with Sandals
A snapshot of the easy and laidback life in a rustic Indonesian village. It is so far removed from the materialism of Western lifestyle. Sometimes I wonder who is really living a rich life…
Elaborate Wig
A Papua New Guinean man dressed up as a tribal warrior posed for me. His elaborate wig is crafted from his own hair and decorated with colorful feathers. It took him more than 2 years to make. It is something he will keep for life.
