On Saunders Beach, Nassau.
How it was made.
This is a place I often go on Saunders Beach where tourists usually don’t go and locals usually aren’t found either. There are private residences overlooking the beach, imagine this view every morning. I walk my dog here and often see the paw prints of other dogs that belong to those houses. She likes smelling those scents. The atoll in the distance is Long Cay, and has had many owners over the years.

I work so hard to get these photos. I look forward to a day when I can get some proper lenses and a camera undamaged by sea salt or plagued by sensor issues. He persisted.
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.
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.
Tutufa 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.
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.

Behind the cemetery at St. Mathew’s Anglican church, sits a small clearing near Shirley Street. I had to stop my car because the atmosphere was so mystical.
