Chicano Park, San Diego, California




Chicano Park is underneath the bridge to Coronado, in San Diego, California.  What an amazing site to visit.  This place is very inspiring because it reflects the struggle of a marginalized population of mexican immigrants with a rich and beautiful culture.  For more information. http://www.chicanoparksandiego.com/index.html

Little League, Calvert County Maryland







It is great to see my nephew play football on the little league team in Calvert County, Maryland. He is a born athlete.  

The nephews on a visit to Maryland.


      At a basketball game in Calvert County, MD.


        Picking out a Labradoodle can be hard work for a kid. 






    Tears from not getting a piece of candy.  His tears turned into a goofy smirk.
One of the greatest joys in my life is hanging out with the nephews.   They want nothing more than for me to pick them up and throw them across the room, and I provide this service to them free of charge.

7 Up, location shoot in Costa Rica




 Sleeping Sloth.







While on location at a 7 Up shoot in Costa Rica early this year, I was able to grab a couple snap shots with my Canon G-10.  The 7 Up shoot was a great experience.  I highly recommend Costa Rica as a travel spot.

Jack Studios, NYC














While working at Jack Studios.  I wanted to try out my new Canon G-10.  My wife and I purchased the point & shoot camera so we would finally have a light weight camera that we could throw around and not worry about.  I have enjoyed the video feature on the camera and think it takes decent images for the price.   For more information about Jack Studios http://www.jackstudios.com/

Inwood, Manhattan


















 
I documented, Inwood, Manhattan, zip code 10034, in the cold winter of 2009. Inwood is not the Bronx as some would ask.  It is a community at the top of Manhattan, end of the A Train.  It is a community of families, mostly Dominican.  It also is the home of one of the Columbia University locations.  There is a farmers market every Saturday year round.  You will find this is a home to many dog lovers.  Inwood has apts and coops with more space than usual, mostly pre-war buildings, some more run down than others. It is home to the only forest in Manhattan, Inwood Forest, where you can catch many bird lovers and even a woodpecker that will rest on your hand and eat bird seed.  It is also an easy walk to the Cloisters, which is a highly recommended attraction in Northern Manhattan.
