Kolkata feels Kafkaesque; daily life slips easily into the surreal. These images I took in 2001 Howrah Station examine the tension between the station’s rigid systems and the people living on its platforms. An observation of a community that remains unseen, where a transit hub becomes a home.

Just three people, a quick chat, and something on a screen. 📱✨ Love the simplicity of street moments like this.

Join me at Austin Photo Night next Wednesday! I'll be presenting work from my book, A Period in Time: Looking Back while Moving Forward: 1977–2022, and discussing the donation of my photographic archive to the Briscoe Center.

One of my photographic compasses is the work of Peter Martens (www.petermartens.nl). In homage to his legacy and powerful visual storytelling, I’m sharing this photo.

A single shadow can tell an entire story. In black and white photography, the absence of light speaks just as loudly as the presence of it. It’s all about the drama, the contrast, and the mystery in between. 🌑✨

Street photography is often about the art of framing. 🖼️ Windows don’t just capture light; they create natural frames within the city, turning everyday moments into living portraits.

I’ve noticed that parents and children don’t just share looks—they mirror each other. Their posture, expressions, and even the way their hands move are often identical, sometimes forming a perfect mirror image.

Some photos don't provide answers; they only breathe questions. Found on a sidewalk in Arles. A sudden departure? A silent miracle? The street keeps its secrets.

Trusting the process over the initial gaze.
Pretty happy with the outcome!

As a photographer with a heart for dogs, I simply can't resist capturing them. Captured during a trip to Arles last autumn; I continue to be inspired by the interplay of light and deep shadows in the streets of Southern France.
