Just Hanging Around
Almost every night, when I return to my apartment, there is this cute ginger cat peering over the balcony in one of the upstairs apartments. On this night, I couldn’t resist. Grabbed my camera and snapped. You never know who’s watching you.

Black and White v. Color
It always amazes me how a simple shift from color to black and white changes the entire mood of a photo. In the color photo, my eyes are drawn to the trees, yet in the black and white version of the exact same photo, I am caught by the car lights at the end of…

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…
