A new image for my “Agave” series — a study in form and shadow. Captured yesterday in Old Town, where history and texture meet.

The day’s catch — he was the only fisherman reeling anything in on Saturday morning.

Birds perched on a light post — I love the simplicity and balance of this composition. I used a red filter to deepen the sky’s tones, creating a stronger contrast.

Back in Imperial Beach this morning, capturing street portraits and connecting with new faces. There’s nothing quite like the energy of meeting people where they are and telling their stories through black and white

Another from my new series of abstract black and white images, all shot on film. Exploring form, texture, and contrast in timeless monochrome.

A little rain today—refreshing and much needed. Captured on my Fujifilm X-T2 with a 50mm lens. Always love the depth of black and white.

From the fashion archives — shot on film with the classic Nikon N90 and a 180mm lens. Still one of my favorite setups of all time.

Dancers embody a rare balance of strength and grace, each movement a fleeting work of art. This cyanotype print captures that duality—her power held within a moment of elegance.

It’s a lot of fun. I really enjoy the whole process

From a recent still life series. Cyanotypes feel like a return to the darkroom—slow, hands-on, and deeply rewarding. There’s nothing like holding a print you made yourself.

San Diego Bay, captured a few years ago with an old Nikon D40. The camera doesn’t matter—the moment does.

Part of my ongoing exploration in cyanotype. I’m drawn to wide-angle compositions for their immersive quality. Each cyanotype is hand-printed, making every piece a unique expression of place and process. #cyanotype #artforsale #handmadeprint #photooftheday
