Adapting to the unfamiliar when I had no idea what to expect.

Lindy Vogel in Human Parts

Two men ride a motorcycle together in Utila, Honduras, on a path that serves as the island’s main road. A broken, wooden fence with missing posts lines the far side of the road. A sunset and palm trees are seen in the background. Also along the road, to the left of the fence, is a tall cinder-block wall that has an ocean-themed mural painted across it. The mural features a large, toothless, open-mouthed whale shark that looks as if it’s going to swallow the motorcyclists as they ride by.
