- While on vacation, I was waiting in line to use the ATM. Looking around, I saw this Japanese woman sitting on the "handrail" of the stairs. I couldn't resist taking the picture. After a few more shots, I saw a photographer give her instructions. The shoot was for a Japanese travel ad to visit Greece.

- The Black Sand Beaches of Puerto Viejo

- I was in Costa Rica, staying in Puerto Viejo for a winter holiday with my family. I arrived a few days early and on this day I was wandering along the black sand beaches back to my hostel. As the sun set the palette of colors shifted to a cool series of charcoal and blues. I came upon a group of what seemed like wild horses and began to take photos. After a few moments this one seemed like she recognized what I was doing and proceeded to pose while I shot.

- I couldn't help but love this photo taken when all of a sudden the groom and his best man decided to do backflips after their Bahamian wedding-on-the-beach-at-sunset. It came as a shock to everyone, as you can clearly see on the bride's face!
