$79.00 – $179.00 + VAT for Bahamian residentsTutufa bubo, common name for the “giant frog snail” or “giant frog shell”. 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.

$79.00 – $179.00 + VAT for Bahamian residentsI’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.

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 concert venue and Junkanoo Museum.
