Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, 2013

There I was; Flying over the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef in a 2 person cropduster.

My life in the hands of a 17 year old baby faced pilot flying a 30 year old machine. The freezing wind hit my face as I took my camera out of the aircraft for a couple of  pictures.

Originally, I took this plane to photograph a real estate development in Placencia, but these shots took a life of their own. One of these pictures was featured by Nina Ragusa in her world famous blog, as an “epic viewpoint” of Belize. You can see the feature here.
