Belize in Black and White

https://www.ngoc.org.uk/uncategorized/future-events/fkfbc6gui9 Joseph, from Orvis Adventures, logs a bit of casting practice at El Pescador.

After the vivid, memory-searing colors of Belize—even underneath the persistent rain and dreary conditions we had for much for the trip, the colors managed to pop—it’s been a a bit of a shock to come back to the land of brown and white here in Vermont. It’s made me take a deep breath, reassure myself that winter is alway tough and it’s about time I up my snow photography game anyway, and plan some upcoming trips.

That doesn’t mean I’ve not enjoyed delving through the colors found in the Belize edit. The images have gone to a wide variety of clients, including Orvis, El Pescador, and a host of editorial partners. I’m excited to see them start coming to print and web in the near future (more to come on that.)

As I look through the edit, though, I’ve been stunned by a few images that simply demand black and white. Sometimes the subject is too strong, the lines too bold, to worry about color. They demand a more direct approach.

So head on over to Chi Wulff to see a few B&W selects from the Belize edit.

And a huge thanks to everyone who made this trip possible—especially Orvis and the entire, lovely team at El Pescador. It was an incredible experience, and I look forward to the next time I make it to the flats off Ambergris Caye.
