Today we’re in the San Blas Islands, a collection of 365 tiny low islands (only 49 are inhabited) just off the coast of Panama. The area is known for its lack of hurricanes, beaches (though we saw none), cayuko’s (dugout canoes in which one paddles and other passengers bail like crazy), and the colorful fabric “molas” all the women here sew and create. I’m guessing Molas represent their largest source of island income. Having grown up with framed molas on our household walls, I was looking forward to a visit here to see more of them...and the women who create them.
After a short tender ride from the ship, we arrived and were faced with a classic photographer’s dilemma...to show the village as you expected to see it? To focus on making pretty images? Or to photograph reality...even if poor and shabby. I’m still not sure which approach is best? Do you document? Do you pay for the opportunity to photograph? Here are a few images...representing all the directions a photographer might go. You decide which approach is best...
