Myself (Pat Welsh) and Mark McTiernan went to high school together. We both ran track and field. And we both graduated in 1983 from Haverford High School in suburban Philadelphia, PA. After going our separate ways, we decided to meet up in Costa Rica. What a great trip!

ABOUT THESE IMAGES. Half were shot with a Canon Optura Pi Mini DV Camcorder. Bought it off of e-bay for a song and a bowel of soup. I shot a combination of video and still images with it. The images were captured on Progressive Scan, recorded onto a Canon DV tape (which subsequently clogged the heads), transferred to Sony Memory Stick JPG format via IEEE1394 Cable (Sony calls it I.LINK, Apple calls it Firewire) through a Sony DSR-250 DVCAM camera. Images were then tweeked in Photoshop 5.0.
 
The other half of the images were taken with the biggest piece of junk disposable camera available at Walgreens Pharmacy for under 10 bucks (or around 3800 Costa Rican Colons). It's actually reloadable with standard 35 mm film. If I lost the camera I wouldn't lose any sleep. Images were scanned at a resolution of 150 dots per inch on an Acer Flatbed Scanner. Images were then tweeked in Photoshop 5.0. Any questions?
