So now that I've been back from Punta Cana for a few weeks and my tan has all but faded, I decided it was time to start processing my photos from the trip and talk a little about each one here.
For today's photo I chose this one of two boys hanging out at one of the many gift shops that we stopped at on our various tours. On this particular day we were returning from a great day of Scuba Diving on Catalina Island. It was around 5:30 in the evening and we stopped at a roadside gift shop to shop, visit the bathroom and grab snack. As we came out of the store, my wife noticed these two boys leaning up against the front window.
Now seeing kids hanging outside the tourist stops isn't unusual but what struck me most about these boys was that the one on the right was wearing a t-shirt that said "Life begins at Hooters" I thought it was quite amusing that here we were in the Dominican Republic, and here was this boy of around 10 years of age wearing a Hooters t-shirt. Ah, the great spread of capitalism and American "Culture".

That's a really great picture, Bruce. I wish I had similar photos to show of my time in Cuba. Havana was really ripe for photography, but I only had a crappy little point and shoot that make it difficult to capture a lot of the shots I wanted to take.
Thanks Adam. I'm going to try to put up a series of photos that I took over the next few weeks. It's a great way to review what I shot and document the stories along the way. I wasn't 100% certain about dragging all my expensive camera gear with me to the DR but I'm glad I did as I managed to come away with some really great shots.
