Road Trips
South Beach, Miami. Mangos Bar. I’ve got a few days now before my Magnum colleagues arrive. Yup Magnum on vacation. We gather now with no biz meeting just to talk and look at each other’s work. Ironic that I’m in Miami anyway to shoot BeachGames, teach a workshop, and have an exhibit “BeachGames” on the …
South Beach, Miami. The last day of Art Basel Miami was a major Sunday stroll, people watching at a peak. Gray skies prevailed which for me is always magic. I have prints on the wall this week in Miami, yet my energy comes from trying for new work every day. BeachGames always on my mind. …
Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. El Batey bar and pool hall is an after hours hang open til 7am. I always try to get into any bar scene long before it gets super crowded. That way I can befriend the bartenders and the owner etc so I can work without any problems. Good relations with …
Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Late night rainy night adios. I always hate goodbyes. Whenever I’m working on any new photo essay I of course make new friends. Many thanks especially to my Boricua amigos Alvaro, Payola, and Li for making so many pictures possible. I will be back soon. Abrazos. #sanjuan #fujifilm #beachgames #puertorico
Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Senior Saturday night romance. One thing I noticed about Puerto Rico is that so many social scenes involve all ages. It’s a family affair, and who doesn’t like to see lasting love?#sanjuan #puertorico #beachgames #fujifilm
Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. I’ll spend the next few days simply doing texture shots in this historic zone. It’s a tourist area to be sure, yet a beautiful home for many. Many of the bars here stay open til 7am. Just in time for the early morning light.#fujifilm #puertorico #sanjuan #beachgames
Crash Boat beach, Puerto Rico. Harry “The Pelican Whisperer” also can call in some frigates with the wave of his hand. This one “Trigger” comes in from a mile away for a hand held sardine. These are rescue birds Harry has befriended for 9 years. The birds come in at 3:30 pm every day and …
Somewhere between San Juan and Jobos, Puerto Rico. Dasha just arrived from Ukraine to work on BeachGames and do my tech stuff and doing the same at my Miami Street Photography workshop next week in Miami. Yes I’m driving and grooving on Dasha’s soundtrack along with Payola @payolaisabel my fixer here in PR. We are …
El barrio La Perla. San Juan, Puerto Rico. This skate bowl and sometime swimming pool was built in 2005. The sweet beauty of this bowl is that it’s right on the beach. Matter of fact this barrio occupies the best waterfront location in San Juan yet has avoided tourist development. The locals want to stay …
