Boy with Top

This young boy in Guatemala, was very excited to show me his skills with a top. I wonder how many kids in the US could be as happy as this kid with just a simple toy to play with.

Old Time Photographer

Watching this gentleman walking around taking picture of folks was like stepping back in time. With all the rush were in, in the digital era he was just content to take his time and offer a simple snap shot to whom ever would request his services. God bless him. Photo taken in Mexico City.

Beaches

It won't be long before it time to go to a nice beach somewhere especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere.Yes, I find myself staring at this photo a lot during the cold winter months. Nothing like sitting relaxing and listening to music at a beautiful spot like this.

My new Friend

I have found that kids are basically the same all over the world. I haven't been anywhere,where there not curious about a camera. Such is the case with my new friend here. I don't need to speak Chinese or any other language for that fact to make a new friend. I just need my camera and a simle on my face. Photo taken in a small village outside of Kunming China.

Abandon

This lonely looking adobe structure is enhanced by the fact that it was taken at twilight adding a bit more drama to the image. I love this time of the day for photos but you've got to move fast it doesn't last long.

Violin Player

One evening while photographing an event a Mariachi band began to play. This young lady playing the violin proved to be the most out going and most photogenic of the group. I believe she was also the band leader.

Smiley

Nothing like being greeted by a smiling face in a new strange city. This young man who was delivering coal in this Beijing neighborhood was quick to smile for the camera. He was the first of many friendly faces I would encounter in this unbelievable city.
