Violinist in Red #Fitzroy #Melbourne

One of those magical moments. I was rushing back to the hotel but had to pause. Was that really a woman playing violin in the window? I turned around to listen (and photograph).

Being able to photograph twins or friends “twinning” gave me an adrenalin rush.

There were many of those opportunities in Korea.

Breaking down the #SquidGame S3 Promotion seen in #Bangkok. Image shot on 35mm #film. The statue is almost 40 feet tall. The two men working on dismantling it can give you a sense of scale.

La Delice Bakery #NYC. Another from my “Early to Work” series of people at work in my neighborhood before sunrise. I haven’t been in years but this spot used to have the perfect apple turnover.

Uniform #Arashiyama #Japan

Taking photos on subways, buses, trams etc is my happy place. This was taken as Japan was (carefully) coming out of the pandemic and admitting tourists.

Dog Tango #Paxos #Greece.

If those boys weren’t there to hold them back, would the dogs fight? Play? In my mind I imagine an elaborate dance.
Two young men on the beach hold their dogs back. Almost looks like the dogs are hugging. #greece #paxos #beachlife #dogs #travel #Mediterranean

Moments in #Havana. #Cuba. Two years ago, friends and I spent Thanksgiving in Cuba. I took LOTS of photos, of course. These when we first landed. I’ll post more later from this incredible experience.

Small Wonder #CentralPark #NYC. I wonder if artists change. Hopefully evolve? I took this when I was about 16. I still compose shots the same way. The impulse behind the image is still what drives my #streetphotography. Taken with my Minolta X700. Same camera I still use now when I shoot #35mm.

Plenty of Fruit in #Antigua #Guatemala. I am embracing my camera’s creative focus choices. I also embraced just how much delicious food there is Guatemala. It’s delightful.
