Last month I went to Costa Rica to visit an old friend from Manhattan who bought a house on Lake Arenal, spending time both in the rain forest near Arenal Volcano and the Pacific northwest. The shooting conditions were pretty terrible. When we landed the temperatures were in the 100s with near 85% humidity. Inland was in the 90s with 90-100% humidity. All photos are of animals and birds taken in the wild.
