Men’s tailor in Kenya, Africa

One of many craftsman plying their trade lining the streets outside of the rows of run down shops diligently working all day sewing made-to-measure suits from piles of rolled fabric. How they stay so crisp and fresh looking (both the people and the clothing) and focused and attentive to their task amidst the heat, noise,..

Japanese peony

A perfect japanese peony, just after the rain. Unfortunately, the plant suffered after being moved to a different location during a re-landscaping project. Fortunately, I have the photo. It gives me hope that with proper care and attention it will blossom again sometime in the not too distant future.

Underwater species

First prize if you can guess what these are and where this photo was taken…multiple jellyfish at the fabulous underwater aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland. Everything from algae to sharks. Quite an amazing place, as was the city as a whole. Spent a few days there last summer taking in the sites and enjoying an international..

Vanilla beans

Freshly harvested vanilla beans laying out to dry. This photo was taken at a spice plantation in Munnar, Kerala in the south of India. Vanilla is one of over thirty varieties of spices being grown and cultivated there. Needless to say, we went home with samples of as many transportable items as possible, including several..

Fireworks

This photo was taken from the rooftop of a 12 story building on boulevard St. Laurent, during the international fireworks competition. Risking life and limb, leaning over the edge of the roof with 300mm lens fully extended and winds gusting at what felt like 100 miles an hour, was well worth it for the shot.

Olympic stadium

Just check out the expression and listen to the questions as any unknowing tourist (ours were friends from NY) inquire about this bizarre creature reaching into to the heavens. Even more ridiculous and confusing is when we, who grew up during its construction, try to explain the..

Corner balcony in Montreal’s Plateau

Typical, yet not so typical, corner balcony in Montreal’s Plateau area. Love the green against the blue, brown, white and the repeating squares and hearts amongst other geometrics in the wood, glass, bricks and metal. Never forget to look up when walking the streets of our beautiful city.

Nassau Bahamas

This picture was taken in Nassau, Bahamas from the beach while looking away from the ocean to the backs at the homes along the strip. It was in a more private area, away from the popular, more crowded beaches and tourist area. I was attracted to the weather worn paint and texture of the wall,..

Vintage car

This photo was taken on the grounds of Boothill Graveyard, located near near Tucson, Arizona one of my favorite locations in the American southwest. Besides the incredible landscape of the area, which includes multiple mountain ranges, hiking trails and magnificent lighting it is still small and underdeveloped enough to harken back to the old days..
