My relatives in the Philippines had a creative solution by making a swinging bassinet for their daughter. I was caught by surprise when I walked into this room and saw her swinging. This is the other image I was honored to have chosen for the @american_photography_winners for AP33 this past year. .

Mesmerized by this indoor market in the Philippines. The sales associates become dwarfed, almost buried, by the mountain of clothes surrounding them. Honored to have been a chosen winner in @american_photography_winners AP 33 selection this past year.

Sometimes it’s hard to remain unnoticed when photographing people in quiet moments and in their natural environment. This particular instance baffled me, because I was only a few feet away and the only person in front of them, and they were completely unaware of my presence. It was only until after I finished taking their photo that they noticed me and shied away. .

Getting to the @metmuseum early means enjoying the architecture in peace. Think I found my new favorite time and place in NYC.

Some kind of wonderful with @anthonymccallstudio Had the opportunity to see his work for the first time last year at Pioneer Works, and I was blown away. A year later and I’m still in awe.

Back in December, I took a stroll through the Chicago Cultural Center—one of my favorite places in the city. I love this ceiling!

Rearranged the home office so now I can actually look out the window! Hooray! I have a feeling my view will be obstructed in the summer when the leaves adorn this tree. Small victories for the being.

Pioneer graffiti artist @snake_188 was tagging up NYC with his friends before the world was introduced to artists like SAMO and Keith Haring. He’s still tagging up the city with his friends, but with the recognition and praise he so much deserves.

@snake_188 is a devoted father and husband, an extremely talented artist, and a very dear friend. Before our shoot, he texted me expressing his enthusiasm about the shoot and that he believed in me and my project. That message has resonated with me ever since I read that, and it’s given me more courage to keep going—to keep pursuing my dreams. Thank you for believing in me, Eddie 🙏🏽

Honored and delighted to have an image published in this month’s @rangefindermag ! 
While on our honeymoon last year, we made a stop in Sicily. Wandering the streets of Taormina, we passed this really old church where a wedding was about to commence, and just outside was this group of Italian women taking a break from the summer heat. With one shot, I caught this brief moment with the women huddled around a cell phone. I love everything about this moment, from the setting, to their clothes, to the cell phone. 
Thank you for sharing, Rangefinder!

Calling Andres Gursky! In contrast to Gursky’s 99 Cent, I recently went to a grocery store that felt like a ghost town. When entering, I thought the store was still closed because the lights weren’t all completely on and there were no cashiers or associates walking around.  But it was open for business at 11AM. When I was a kid, this store was bustling with customers and the pungent smells of an Asian grocery store permeated everywhere, but on this particular day there were no reminiscent aromas and only 3 customers—my mother, myself, and one other woman. The shelves at the store were not fully stocked, there were literally only 2 tilapia in their seafood section, and their fresh produce section was pretty much non-existent. It was really sad revisiting this place and seeing the parking lot totally empty and the aisles completely devoid of customers.

Today, Sears is making a last-ditch effort to keep remaining stores open. Sadly, we keep seeing stores of our youth shutting their doors and claiming defeat to online shopping. Our suburban landscape will continue to be littered with skeletons of strip malls and former brick and mortar businesses, and what will we do then?

Studying my every movement, this little girl stood motionless and ever so quiet as I turned my lens away from the loud and bustling church behind me and focused on her. This quiet connection that she and I made is forever etched in my memory, because for this singular moment, we were the only people that existed. In fleeting moments like this, you almost hold your breath the entire time, because you want that moment to last. .

Rectangles and people. People in rectangles. People on rectangles. Rectangles in rectangles. .

The White City ballroom at the @chicagoathletichotel has one of the best views of the city, overlooking Millenium Park. It also has to be one of the most beautiful rooms in in this hotel.

Actress, performer, comedian, and voiceover artist @sevansisthebest had me rolling on the floor laughing with her quick quips and her unexpected hilarities as we did this shoot. This moment was a brief pause in the laughter.

Made friends with Pascale after wandering into his gallery in Sorrento while on our honeymoon. Sometimes making friends in new places makes travel and life’s experiences even more special and memorable.
