Panama Canal Expansion/ III Set of Locks 09/12
Panama City, Republic of Panama 091912 I had the privilege of being given a tour of the Panama Canal expansion for a Boston Globe/ New York Times story on the effects of the Panama Canal expansion on the US economy. BEHIND THE SCENES: Since the beginning of this project as s proud Panamanian I've been wanting to photograph some of this gargantuan project. What I caught on this day was merely a glimpse and I was stunned by its sheer size. On a side note, I did this while on sabbatical for the Boston Globe. Even though, I work for them they hired me for this specific assignment since I had planned to be in Panama on this date and I'm glad they did. TECH STUFF: MarkIV, Nikon D3s, Nikor 24 2.0, Canon 70- 200mm 2.8 + 1.4 TC, Lens Baby. I decided to go with black and white since I have a dear friend of mine who is a Panama Canal pilot and he collects all Panama Canal related historical images and documents and I've always been taken by all those dark tones found in these type of photos.

Essdras,
When will you post that great photo of Romney leaving his campaign HQ the day after the election? It really captured the moment!
