a storytelling
I am always in search of new stories to tell
Two of my passions are teaching and street photography. I am a 5th grade teacher and I love being with my students every day. I enjoy watching them gain self-confidence and become better critical thinkers by year's end.
The light is frequently very bright where I live in Tucson, Arizona. However, this can often help create photos with sharp contrasts and intense shadows. I love the challenge that street photography brings; you never know what you might discover on the street. I enjoy the serendipitous moments one can capture, when the light and the actions of people on the street come together to create an intriguing image. I am interested in capturing interactions between people as well as emotions that make for an interesting story.
I travel to San Francisco three times a year on personal photo safaris armed with my Ricoh GR II. San Francisco is a street lover's paradise. The architecture is sublime and there are so many fascinating people on the streets.
I am always in search of new stories to tell.
“A street photographer has to be ever observant while on the street because most scenes only last for a few seconds before being lost forever.”

An astonishing image. The lonely thinker with an iguana... will he be his mate? An encounter between two lost beings?
