Well, the tourists are flocking in and lining up to spend money at Copan in Honduras.  The Hondurans are "reluctantly" taking all that tourist money as a hedge against a possible non-event.

 

Hi to the forum.  This is my first post, so please bear with me.

I've heard, on this forum and others, the importance of "style", usually meaning a niche of subject matter.  Right now I'm in a quandry about this.  I've always shot a wide variety of subjects from near-macro, land and city-scapes, people and food for example.  I have dabbled in micro-stock, selling a number of photos but never getting serious about the venue.  Soon I will be moving permanently to Central America and would like to be far more serious about shooting my new area. 

If I continue as I have always done it would be quite a wide stretch to photograph "Central American Culture".  But then again, I don't want to be too restricted, either.  I'm familiar with the area and know there are wonderful photographic opportunities in many categories.  Is anyone here experienced with shooting in Latin America on an on-going basis, particularly Honduras?  I search the stock sites and find mostly computer-generated illustrations and a couple well-known tourist sites such as Copan and Roatan.  Almost nothing about the people, customs, food and culture.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
