AUTHOR
I have done extensive traveling throughout the United States, Europe, México, South America and the Caribbean Islands with my Nikon cameras and my interests in nature, art, architecture and people. I love to travel and photograph my experiences in all kind of color, light and gesture. My most inspirational trip was with “National Geographic – Assignment in San Miguel de Allende, México”, a photography workshop in November 2006. It was a wonderful trip to enjoy Central America and experience and learn about photography with five highly recognized National Geographic and Santa Fe Workshop photographers. I find taking photographs of people the most challenging and the most gratifying at the same time. Custom framing my photographs has also been a pleasurable experience utilizing eclectic framing materials and mixing different colors and textures. Choosing frames that enhance the photographs adds to the artistic quality and uniqueness of each and every photograph. I took two trips to Haiti with a dental foundation and took some awesome images of the stoic and wonderful people of Haiti. I visited Ecuador a few years ago and captured the many colors, head wraps and wonderful people of this interesting country touching the equator of our world. This year I did a wonderful trip to COLOMBIA and captured the wonderful people, their many colors and their interesting culture.
