Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

This mother and daughter in Panama are selling molas, multilayered fabric art used by Kuna Yala women of Panama as the main portions of their blouses. I found them on the Caribbean side of the country, near Bocos del Toro. I was taken with their colorful expression and warmth. I took this photograph on my first trip to Central America and I remember the moment fondly as a discovery of color, culture, and remarkable talent
