Bribri Handicrafts

The indigenous Bribri tribe of the southeastern Costa Rica construct some unique and noteworthy hand crafts and carvings. There is amazing book discovered and scanned by Google that shows some of their traditional works including a feather longcoat. Following the construction of these head-to-toe feather garments, it is little wonder why the scarlet macaw is no longer is found in the Talamanaca Mountains.

In my career I have produced a great deal of remote location shots, but producing in-the-jungle product images, (the set of which this shot is part of), without electricity or shelter in 95f/35c degree rainforest heat was a first for me.
