Reflected Landscape at Rincon of the Seas, Rincon PR



Today marks the official opening of my (Todd Davis) new exhibition of photographs at the hotel Rincon of the Seas. The show includes 13 black and white images and two very large infrared panoramas. I have been shooting in and around Rincon for several years and this show marks a departure from most of my work. Usually, when we think of the tropics we do so in color... hot and saturated. In doing so, our seduction by the color masks the extraordinary forms and subtle tonalities that are all around us. For those of us who live here full time, we can become habituated to the drama of the changing landscape. So, to return some of the freshness and vibrancy to looking, I have chosen to capture the tropics in black and white. All of the images have been shot in Rincon. I have printed the images on Velvet Fine Art Paper which enables a much richer viewing experience.

The show is noted in the El Coqui and a featured event and runs from December 20 till February 20. You can see the images at Rinconimages.com, look for the Reflected Landscape gallery.

If you are interested in owning a print they are comfortably priced at $99 for a framed and matted image and just $55 rolled. The panoramas are offered at $299 framed and $99 rolled, shipping is additional. To purchase please call 787-546-8858.

Dinner at Rincon of the Seas, Rincon Puerto Rico


Occasionally we like to go out with friends for a bit of dinner, drinks and the sunset. Last night we did so with friends who will be leaving to go back to the states next week. We chose Rincon of the Seas which is a moderately sized all inclusive resort located near town off rt 115. They have a lovely bar and restaurant poolside and with a great view of the sunset.

We enjoyed various libations and then hamburger (perfectly done and wonderful), salad, and several orders of a thick seafood/ shrimp gumbo called Asopao de camerones. Check out a recipe here. It will give you the idea.

One of the nice things about our small town is the variety of eating choices. Now at the Lemontree we have full cooking accommodations... but many guests also enjoy the various restaurants and bars. We have international cuisine, local Puerto Rican eateries, hamburger places, local bakeries, and of course the trucks and small tent operations by the road side which all have a devoted following.
