This island is mesmerizing during golden hour but especially in the hard light of day. It is now privately owned by a major resort. It costs $5000 for an all inclusive day there and $10,000 for an overnight stay.
I couldn’t believe the cloud formations were so perfect one evening on my drive home. It was a chilly, windy day and all I had on me was a 30mm prime, so I made the best of it.
SPOTLIGHT Long Cay, Daylight How it was made. As a child, I would pass this island on my way to and from school. I always wanted to go there, but we didn't own a boat or kayak. I spent many years photographing it at different times of day to catch [...]

I take photos of these shells because there was a time when they were so common you could come back with a handful just by going on a shoreline stroll. Today, they are rare and can be seen only in the main public library in downtown Nassau. For years the upstairs section of the library, which used to serve as the first prison, has been closed due to renovations. At some point in the future, I endeavor to get permission to borrow the rarest and photograph them on the beach.
Its easy to get nice photos on Cabbage Beach, and I often look at the sepia images from the 19th Century when people came here in what would be considered formal dress with parasols for the women and top hats for the men.
When I was a little boy, my mother told me I’d go off on adventures by myself and return with a handful of flowers to give to her. I don’t remember this but it’s nice to know. I had no idea the amount of hard work it takes to get […]
Across from “The Caves” beach on west Bay street, a roadside vendor was selling shells and I asked if I could take a photo. The shell appears as part of the Bahamas Coat of Arms.
SPOTLIGHT Reflections How it was made. I was mostly attracted by the low lying clouds. I often pass by this site when I am on walks with my dog. The rocks were slippery, and I bumped my head after a fall. I haven't noticed any behavioral changes in the years [...]
Captured with a smartphone camera in late summer 2021 . I left the house before dawn, intending only to paddle two hours and rest on Paradise Island. I noticed near the shoreline that there was no wind, and as the sun rose I was shielded from the searing heat from […]
Sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera) leaves are usually dark green, but in the cyclical shedding of leaves, they populate the ground with various shades of tan. The tree belongs to the buckwheat family.
I’ve used this shell many times, as you can tell. I inherited it from my mother during her time working with shells for her own art when she was in her 20’s. It has become one of the centerpieces on my dining room table.
SPOTLIGHT The Ocean Club How it was made. This photograph may seem like a rendering made by A.I., but I have the feet that were burned by the sand on that hot day in mid July to prove it's real, along with video.
To the ordinary viewer, it’s a plain sunset. To me, I think about the gravity keeping the molecules stuck to one another and stuck to earth. I think of the nuclear fusion of the sun, fueled by burning hydrogen and the extreme amounts of radiation emitted. I think about magnetic […]
In the afternoon, when the dockside vendors were closing up shop for the day, I begged one to let me take this shot. The vendors sell to disembarking cruise passengers at what used to be known as the Prince George Dock. Today it has become its own thing, with a […]
I found this tree a short distance from where Bahamian veterans of both World Wars are buried in the mausoleum dedicated to their service on Infant View Road. The tree is a poinciana that has lost all its foliage for the cooler months, soon to return to full bloom with beautiful flowers. I decided to color the photo to illustrate the horrors of The Great War and the conflict to follow. Arendt called it the Banality of Evil.
