Had an opportunity to photograph this young lady this weekend for her Quinceañera. Happy 15th Anaira, may the big guy upstairs continue to bring you blessings.

Starting to feel like a 16 yr old girl posting so many self portraits 🤣. But since I'm practicing my light setup, what's a guy to do?...

Another cool shot from this weekend. Spotted this solitary sailboat driving around Waterford. Not half bad for a weekend what do you think? What do you do during "down time"? 😎

Had an opportunity to witness some pretty expressive skies this weekend! Was hanging out with my boy for a High School Senior shoot and got this shortly after. Playing with a little reflection action, wow Niantic! More to come! 🔥🔥🔥

I had the opportunity to share a special day with these two young people. They are funny, kindhearted and we had an amazing time with them. It was a super warm day last Saturday but nothing was slowing this beautiful ceremony down. Gathered amongst friends and family Joshua and Krista became one. The night cooled off and the party started. I'll also extend my thanks to my fellow vendors. Nancy from Shaker Farms Cc was all over the place making sure everything went right! The DJ JR Burrows from After Hours DJ Entertainment kept the party hopping! I look forward to working with these professionals again! Man, it’s hard to imagine a better time! Congratulations Krista and Joshua!

I can say with all honesty I've been blessed. The people that have come into my life, the people the big guy upstairs has gifted me with, I am always thankful. This young lady came into my life 15 years ago via my little sis 😍. She has been a blessing in all our lives, and I doubt there are many uncles out there as proud as I am (well maybe my lil brother 😂). She has become a talented, warm, caring intelligent young lady and I'm looking forward to all she will achieve!

On this first day of summer I would like to offer a warm congratulations to my good friends Mr & Mrs Bridges (Justin and Angie). I’ve known Angie’s parents for over 15 years now and I was blessed and honored to shoot Angie and Justin’s wedding last weekend.

May the Lord bring blessings upon blessings onto this beautiful family. Angie & Justin, thank you so much for allowing me the honor as a part of this special moment in your lives.
Here’s a quick sneak peek of the images they will receive…

The Drug Enforcement Agency Sent YOU!

My attraction to street photography has grown with every shoot I do; So when I had the opportunity last weekend to take part in a photo walk through NYC with a few fellow photographers, I jumped at the chance. I’ve admired work by Bruce Gilden for some time so I thought sweet, NYC let’s go out and capture some characters! Let’s feature the “average joe”.

It was a fun day and we all got some great shots, but I had an experience which has brought up some questions (at least for me). So we came across this man shaving in the street; Yes, shaving, fully lathered up face, razor, towels the works. I saw my opportunity and I approached him, camera aimed at his reflection but when he noticed me all HELL broke loose! Freaking out he starts stomping and frantically waving his arms, yelling at the top of his lungs “the drug enforcement agency sent you!“ over and over. Stomping and pacing back and forth! I slowly backed away trying to explain, “No picture, ok, no picture, see, look no picture”. After about a minute (and about 15 feet of comfort zone) he says something that has been rattling around my brain for days. “I can't even wash my hands!” as he points to his shaving supplies… I know, not exactly but also not the point. Did he feel I invaded his privacy, disrupted his morning ritual? I know legally there is no expectation of privacy while out in public, but what are the moral obligations? As a photographer what obligations do I have to art and society? What obligations do I have to the subject?

The question is, where do we draw the line? When am I shedding light on those whom so many walk past without a second look? The forgotten, accidentally or purposely. I worry good intentions can turn into a Barnum & Bailey’s or Coney Island sideshow. Are the images created taken as an amusement, a safe place to have your laughs while pointing at the funny man? Where is the line drawn between a side-street show of oddities carefully crafted for your guilty gratification and images that bring impact? Images that serve as a reminder that we are all human no matter what problems we have? I’d like to think that for me, my photography is the latter; I will acknowledge the regular “joe”. I see you, I know you exist my brother and here is my very small attempt at showing you off to the world, they see you too.

Yes there are problems in society and we can’t forget them away. We’ll have to deal, meanwhile I will see the good, the bad and the ugly. But if by any chance there is a man shaving amidst a busy manhattan street, I will have the respect to let him do his thing. Even I like to “wash my hands” without being pestered.

Please leave your opinion below, tell me what you may think about street photography or any of the questions I’ve posed above.. Thanks!!

I've been lucky enough to photograph these two beautiful people on several occasions. I wanted to congratulate my good friends Fernando and Elizabeth. Last week they celebrated 13 years of marriage! We were fortunate to spend some time with these two and had such a great time at both shoot locations. Happy anniversary Fernando & Elizabeth! May blessings continue to rain down on you and may there be many more years to come!

Brought home another victory from the Bethlehem Fair this weekend! Feels great that all the late nights, the super early mornings and all the work I put in prove to be worthwhile! I am happy and thankful that others enjoy my art and my interpretation of art. Thanks to the Bethlehem Fair Society Inc. Let's keep this going, who's next?!

So here is a small preview of my upcoming shoot for Kathy & Mary Lynn! These things are so damn addictive!! If your in the New Britain area, stop by and check out some of the delicious pastries at Borinquen Bakery, LLC!! By the way I'm having trouble deciding which crop I like better, tight in on the Pastelillo, or back some showing the powdered sugar falling on them? Any comments?

What a great time we had at the Ride For Liv event this last weekend! Thanks to our new friends Erica and the rest of the CT Princess Parties LLC crew for the invite! I look forward to getting the rest of the images out very soon!! It was cool hanging out with Frank for a bit and the stunt team was awesome. Great times.
