Nautical Symbols: Split, Croatia



Images taken on a dock in Split, Croatia during a trip that happened by chance and seemed to work out better than planned.

Two Women on a Bench, Split, Croatia


Two women and the Adriatic Sea.
I like to think they are old friends. Or that perhaps they just met that day.
Split, Croatia.

Holga in the DR






I have been quite busy with school and work, but here are some photos scanned in from my time at La Romana and then Columbus Square in Santo Domingo. That boy is my little brother and I believe this photo of me was supposed to be from my self portrait series. Don't you worry, more new stuff will be appearing once I get a moment to actually edit photos.

Saaamana!

Because you can never go wrong with Samana, not only the most primitive but the most northeastern part of the island, Hispaniola. If you were to imagine the Caribbean, you would imagine Samana.

Playa Rincón

Boasted to be on of the most beautiful beaches in the world, you have to go nearly 10k on an aweful dirt road in which you need 4-wheel drive and the ability to navigate around cattle to get to this secluded spot. The beach is located on the Samana Peninsula in the most northeastern part of the Dominican Republic. Groves of palm trees lead up to the Atlantic Ocean and the most clear fresh water stream I have ever seen goes into the bay.




I am working on updating some of my fine art prints for sale. These and others are avalible for purchase here.

Caberete

The kiteboarding capital of the world, Caberete. We got in close to sunset on Wednesday night, giving us just enough time to find a hotel and run out to the beach for a swim and some photos. We then enjoyed a delicious meal at a bar underneath a hotel right on the beach.

Boca Chica

What is supposed to be about an hour away takes roughly 2 hours by bus (Guaguas), depending on how many people the Corbradors pick up off the street and try to cram in. It was beautiful, but very touristy with all the vendors and people trying to rip you off left and right. Also saw the most white people on a Guagua that I have ever seen: 6 in total (including myself--when ususally it's just me). There were four bohemian kids about my age that we picked up off the side of the highway and one hippie girl who looks like she has been all over the world, spoke perfect spanish, and got off in the middle of the highway only to hitchhike into some truck. Jealous? Because I am.

Anyways, my goal is find a secret beach much closer that only the locals know about that I can sneak away to every day after work.
