SOS Cuba
Millions of Cubans across the world are shouting, “We cannot remain silent.” Most of humanity cannot even begin to understand the Cuban people’s plight – communism, oppression, poverty…and all for the sake of politics.

A Girl and Her Dog
This is why I do what I do! So many interesting people with tons of talent that the world may never hear about. Etiquette Tip: If you take a street performer’s photograph, be sure to drop some paper in their collection container. Shot with a Nikon D700 and a 50mm/1.4 lens. ISO 800; 1/2000; f4.5…

Rainbow Connection
The most exciting thing about street photography is the element of surprise. It feels like I am in search of the unicorn gift. Humanity interacting with humanity – strangers engaging with each other in varying ways: accidental bumps and brushes, a quick smile, a nod. Or loved ones and friends exploring a downtown: a stolen…
