Street Photography Defined:
Street photography is a genre of photography that captures everyday life and human interactions in public spaces. It emphasizes candid moments, often focusing on the spontaneous and unscripted nature of life in urban environments.
The primary goal is to document and convey the essence of a place and its people, showcasing emotions, social dynamics, and the atmosphere of the surroundings.

Key characteristics of street photography include:

1. Candidness: Subjects are often unaware they are being photographed, leading to authentic and unposed images.

2. Urban Environment: Typically set in public spaces such as streets, parks, markets, and public transport.

3. Storytelling: Each photograph often tells a story or conveys a message, capturing the nuances of daily life.

4. Composition and Aesthetics: Photographers pay attention to composition, light, and color to create visually compelling images.

5. Social Commentary: Many street photographers aim to highlight social issues, cultural phenomena, or the human condition through their work.

Overall, street photography is about observing and reflecting on the world around us, often revealing deeper insights about society and human behavior. We will see someting amazing

I have been working on a new collection, entitled :
“Twilight: A Journey Through the Forgotten”

In the fleeting moments between darkness and light, where shadows dance and silence echoes, lies the realm of "Twilight." This evocative photographic series takes viewers on a captivating journey through abandoned structures, immortalizing their haunting beauty in the soft, ethereal glow of dusk and dawn.

Each image within the Twilight series is a visual symphony, blending the melancholic allure of forgotten spaces with the mysterious ambiance of the twilight hours.

The interplay of light and shadow breathes new life into these decaying edifices, imbuing them with a sense of enchantment and poignancy.

The stillness of the night or the quiet awakening of morning enhances the sense of solitude, inviting contemplation of the stories these abandoned spaces hold.

You will be able to explore all 10 pieces in the near future either online or at a gallery showing.

Within the Twilight collection, you'll encounter scenes of derelict factories, forsaken homes, and ghostly ruins, each whispering tales of lives once lived and dreams long since abandoned.

The evocative lighting and atmospheric compositions draw you into a world where time stands still, and the past lingers in the quiet corners of our modern landscape.

The Twilight series is a testament to the power of photography to evoke emotion and spark the imagination.

Through the lens of the camera, we are granted a fleeting glimpse into the hidden beauty of the forgotten, challenging us to find inspiration in the most unexpected of places.

My overall goal in the series will be to experience the allure of Twilight, and let the whispers of the past stir the onlookers soul.
I am currently looking for another model to complete three of these photos.

Happy Halloween

I have not had an opportunity to photograph anything for Halloween this year in lou of the hurricane but I am looking forward to a Gothic Renaissance photo shoot this week.
I wanted to share a few of these photos from a photo shoot that I did last year with Sybil the owner of White Knight Cosplay-
This has been by far one of my favorite photo shoots.
Of course made possible by this talented artist-Sybil who is such a treasure-a good friend and a visionary.
All I had to do was send her a photo of vision that I had and the rest is history.
So on this Monday, I wanted to share a few photos and give a shout out to one of my favorite artist!

I have a big announcement to make some real exciting news.

Stay tune it involves a new project I’m working on that addresses literacy & the importance of sharing the gift of a “book!”

She could not fathom the hexagonal miracle of snowflakes formed from clouds, crystallized fern and feather that tumble down to light on a coat sleeve, white stars melting even as they strike. How did such force and beauty come to be in something so small and fleeting and unknowable? You did not have to understand miracles to believe in them, and in fact Mabel had come to suspect the opposite. To believe, perhaps you had to cease looking for explanations and instead hold the little thing in your hands as long as you were able before it slipped like water between your fingers.

Can’t wait to start doing all of my fall fantasy shoots but today I’m also thinking about winter:

Winter's Embrace

Upon the landscape, white and pure,
A world transformed, enchanting lure.
As snowflakes dance, with graceful flow,
The magic of the winter's show.

Quietly they fall, a gentle breeze,
Transforming trees to works of freeze.
In the stillness, a moment serene,
Nature's canvas paints a scene.

A sparkling world of crystal light,
Reflects the sun in rays so bright.
Snowmen guard their icy reign,
Where children play, a winter's game.

Winter's cold caress upon my face,
A season filled with tranquil grace.
And though the chill may make me shiver,
In winter's beauty, I will forever quiver.

Many people do not know that I studied anthropology in college.

Anthropologists are social scientists who study human beings and their behavior, culture, and societies throughout history. Their work involves researching and analyzing various aspects of humanity, including our biology, cultural practices, languages, and social structures.

Here are some of the key responsibilities and tasks that anthropologists perform:

*Research andfieldwork:
Anthropologists conduct fieldwork to gather data through participant observation, interviews, surveys, and other research methods. They may spend extended periods living among the communities they are studying to gain a deeper understanding of their culture and customs.

*Data analysis:
Anthropologists analyze the data collected during their research to identify patterns, trends, and relationships that help them better understand human behavior, cultural practices, and social structures.

*Writing and presenting findings:
Anthropologists publish their research findings in academic journals, books, and other publications. They also present their work at conferences and workshops to share their knowledge with other researchers and the public.

*Teaching:
Many anthropologists work in academic settings, such as universities and colleges, where they teach students about anthropology and related subjects.

*Consulting:
Some anthropologists work as consultants, providing their expertise to organizations and businesses to help them better understand and engage with diverse communities and cultures.

Anthropologists play a vital role in expanding our understanding of humanity and fostering greater appreciation for the rich diversity of human cultures and societies. Their work helps us appreciate the complexity of human experiences and contributes to addressing social, cultural, and environmental challenges.

Meet Nathan he is a friend of mine from Virginia, who for the past few years has been diving more deeply into his Native American lineage.

We have been working on a project together that started with Nathan’s deep desire to having a deeper connection with his Native American heritage.

When you ask someone about their family lineage, you are essentially inquiring about their ancestry or their family history.
Family lineage refers to the direct line of descent from one's ancestors, tracing back through several generations. It is a way to explore one's heritage, cultural background, and genetic connections to previous generations.

Asking about family lineage may involve questions about a person's ethnic background, the geographical origins of their ancestors, and any significant historical events or cultural traditions that have shaped their family's identity. In some cultures, family lineage is closely tied to social status, inheritance rights, or even religious practices.

By learning about someone's family lineage, you can gain a deeper understanding of their personal identity and the cultural and historical forces that have influenced their life. Additionally, exploring one's family lineage can provide valuable insight into the shared experiences of a community or society over time.

It's important to approach discussions about family lineage with sensitivity and respect, as these conversations may touch upon deeply personal and emotional aspects of an individual life.

Stay tune for the full article and photos.
