Thank
you for your interest in my images
of Panama. While
on an LDS mission during 1995-1997,
I fell in love with the people,
culture and land of Panama. Over
the following years, I struggled
to find high quality photography
or information about Panama and
came to the conclusion that it is
one of the best kept secrets in
the world. On a recent vacation
to Panama, I have tried to capture
the essence of this beautiful and
enchanting place. I hope that you
will agree that I have made a good
start, but there are litterally
hundreds of other images that I
still want to capture and many other
areas of Panama for me to yet discover.
Most
individuals featured in these photos
are personal friends of mine and
have not signed model releases nor
received monitary compensation.
If you have questions about the
people or places, I would be happy
to answer any questions you may
have. You might also check the description
tab at the bottom of each photo
for more details (although I have
not added descriptions to every
photo yet). All photos are copyrighted
and may not be used for anything
other than your personal enjoyment.
If you would like to purchase particular
images for commercial or advertising
purposes, please contact me to discuss
the intented usage and associated
fees.

 My
Camera Equipment:
I primarily shoot the Canon 10D
6.3 megapixel camera with the vertical
battery grip, an extra battery and
a 1GB compact flash card. Occasionally
I also use the Canon EOS A2 film
camera for extreme wide angle or
extremely long exposures. I almost
never use filters other than a polarizer,
but do a moderate amount of digital
color correction and retouching
to ensure that each image reflects
the actual scene as closely as possible
or to remove distracting elements.
Here is a list of the lenses and
accessories that I use:
Canon 28-135mm IS all-purpose zoom
lens
Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 telephoto lens
Sigma 15-30mm 3.0-4.5 super wide
angle lens
Canon 25mm extension tube for macro
conversion
Sigma 2x teleconverter
Canon Speedlight 550EX off camera
flash
Manfrotto tripod
