Havana.

Cemeteries are places of memory, but they are also places where people come to work each day. I noticed this man taking a break beside his bicycle and tools. Life goes on. My heart is with the people of Cuba going through tough times of late. Hope to get back soon.

At Havana’s National Ballet School, one of the finest in the world, talent is everywhere. Resources are not. Money is tight and the school is often in need of basic supplies. Still, the dancers train. In this quiet moment, a student adjusts her shoe as light moves across the studio.

New York City.

Through all that steel and darkness, her face appeared in the small subway window. I made the photograph before the train carried her away. You see someone for a second and wonder about the life continuing beyond the frame.

Paris.

They spotted my camera, pulled close and gave me this. Four friends, four expressions and a few seconds of pure fun. It's why I never tire of walking the streets with a camera.

London’s Chinatown.

Most people kept moving. The child saw the man on the pavement and pointed. I guess children haven’t yet learned to look away.

London.

Two women moving through the Underground. A man sits. The contrast caught my attention. Different lives sharing the same small space for a moment, then continuing in separate directions.

Milan.

In the middle of a crowded street, polka dots, tattoos and this small gesture caught my eye. I was reluctant to shoot but I did and no one noticed. I like looking down at the review screen as a more stealthy way of shooting. With a 35mm f1.2 lens, people know I'm there.

Lisbon at night.

I noticed this woman laughing through the window of a tram. I raised my Nikon Z8 with my favorite 35mm f1.2 lens, made the photograph and watched the tram continue down the street.

A simple moment of joy, here for a second and then gone.

Tokyo.

Street photography rewards curiosity. You never know who might come rolling into your frame.
This dog watched the city from a stroller with a look of complete concentration. Traffic passed. People moved around us. I think it was the close proximity and dogs coat that made this shot interesting to me.
