Two weeks in Portugal with two cameras.

Street

The essence of street photography is about documenting everyday life and society on the streets. It's about capturing a piece of life, it's about chance, and it's about luck. Street photography is about planning and seeing what others don't see. Here are the moments not everybody stops to notice.

This year I had a chance to visit Bucerias Mexico, a small town 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. Instead of bringing a bag full of equipment as I might normally do, to photograph landscapes, this trip I wanted to go unnoticed, and to do that I could only bring a small pocketable camera. Here are a few of the favorites that I hope captured the feel, the energy, and the beauty of the Mexican streets.

Life is hard in Mexico, but not for everyone. I could feel the sorrow and despair this little privileged girl felt for this homeless blind man even though it was to be the happiest day for her.
