Maya Boustany
My name is Maya Boustany and I am a digital and film photographer in Chicago, Illinois. My passion is taking photos of people, landscapes, and experimental images in my hometown and all around the world. I hope to continue my work in digital and film over the next few years in new and familiar places. I want to tell stories through my images. I want to tell stories where people come to their own conclusions, where the image makes them feel unique emotions that are true to them.

The first time I went to Costa Rica was with my roommate from Ohio State, I fell in love. That was in the late 1970’s and he was an Agriculture major from Liberia. I spent a month on Christmas break and never looked back. Why do I love CR so much? First and foremost it’s the people. My love for the Costa Rican people is second to none. As a photo and cinema major, I have taken thousands of wonderful photographic memories to share with friends and family. It is my soon to be adoptive country that I love dearly. Pura Vida.

James Foxx
James Foxx is a passionate Costa Rican soul whose Tico birth name is Jaime Abarca. From a very young age, his friends and family have called him James; later, throughout his life, he added “foxx” to draw inspiration from all his travels. Since James was a child, his dream has always been to live on the beach. With that comes his dedication to good causes and what motivates him most, namely a vibrant and healthy lifestyle, music and the art of photography, videography and digital art.”Photography has always been a of my many passions,” James told us. “Since I consider myself a multifaceted person, I didn’t dedicate myself to this full time until a few years ago when I started traveling. So outdoor photography is what strikes me the most: animals and nature.” It also fit perfectly with his other aspirations, James adds. “Beach, surf and surf photography has always been a big interest in me. my life and a dream that I needed to fulfill. It happened in the beautiful area of Nosara.” For most of his life, James has also been traveling and studying natural and holistic therapies such as reiki, yoga, and acupressure. James is excited to share with Howler readers this collection of favorite images, each one from his artistic perspective.

I am an amateur film photographer from Georgia, U.S. I enjoy working with old film cameras, not only for the unique feel of the final image, but also because it forces you to really pay attention to taking every single picture. My father lives in Costa Rica so I have had the good fortune to travel to Costa Rica frequently. I love the country more and more each time I visit and hope to move there myself one day.

I’m a 27-years-old amateur photographer, aviation geek and coffee, and nature lover who works as an air traffic controller at Guanacaste Airport. In my free time I love to travel to places surrounded by nature and capture all their beauty. I simply go to the airport to do some “plane spotting”.
1. Perks of going camping at the beach in Guanacaste? Waking up to a beautiful sunrise, creating the perfect light to capture all the morning birds that get the advantage of the calm, bay waters, to feed themselves.
2. One of my favorite “spots” near Liberia city. “Poza Los Coyotes” is a beautiful blue river, perfect for enjoying a summer day with the family surrounded by nature.
3. Guanacaste an its breathtaking landscape, seen from the comfy seat, while landing at Guanacaste Airport.
I am a photographer/videographer that loves to travel and explore the beautiful landscapes and man-made creations around the world. I aim to capture the beauty and essence of the places I visit with my cameras and drones. I mainly utilize Instagram to display my work and am always striving to improve.
