I love candid photography. I rarely take a posed shot.  My hope is to capture that one fleeting moment... that one second, that if you blink, you've missed it. It's that split second when you make eye contact with your subject and you get a rare opportunity to glimpse into who they really are or hope to be.
 
Candid photography is photography stripped to the essentials. Rooted in the snapshot, candid photographs are simple and immediate. They require minimal equipment and a willingness to let technique play second fiddle to spontaneity.
 
My hope is that you will get to experience, through these images, the beauty of the people and the magic of the places that I've fallen in love with.

Most of these photos were taken overseas in Jamaica, Peru, Belize, Kenya, South Africa and Malawi.  Some were taken stateside. 
 
They are from the following series:
 
When Life is Still
Heart of Africa
Feels Like Family
On The Street
Gente de la Belleza (People of Beauty - Latino)
When Life is Silent (taken at a School for the Deaf in Jamaica)
Portraits
The Color of Music
