Ecuador Galapagos

I was lucky enough to have been hired by the owner of one of the best hotels in Galapagos to help with pictures to promote it. He is a personal friend of mine and even though I do not do product/commercial photography, I agreed to help him for one reason: a chance for an all paid trip to the Enchanted Islands for me and Sara (my beautiful wife). These islands are a completely different world than the rest of Ecuador. For starters, there is no crime at all, and the price of goods and services is about 3 times of that of the mainland. Also, the government of Ecuador has done a great job protecting the flora and fauna of the islands, with the help of governments, institutions, and benefactors from around the world, which has resulted in animals not being scarred of humans in the least, which is a surreal experience on its own
