About Me I am photographer, traveler and beach lover. My work focuses on the beauty that can be found everywhere in this amazing world; in the people, the places, the big picture and the delicate details. This is my journal.

I love experiencing wedding celebrations in different cultures and traditions.
This photo is from a small village in Indonesia, two days before the wedding neighbors were helping to roast coffee for the celebrations.

I met this beautiful man while photographing on the streets of Tarifa, Spain. Although not understanding a single word between us, he invited me into his home and posed for me with his basket masterpeice. In hindsight I wish I had purchased a handmade basket from him.

Children are adorable where ever you go, but there is something super special about alot of the children that I've been able to meet and photograph in Ethiopia. Maybe its their massive dark eyes, or the mix of depth of responsibility but air of innocence that they excude, and of course I love the open amusement and excitement at seeing themselves or people they know in an images, it's almost addictive watching their little faces change with amusement.
