Miami photographer: business headshots, publicity photos, acting and modeling portfolio work, author and band photos, senior portraits, dating and social media sites, weddings and mitzvahs.
This is the first in a series of photos I took during my recent 9-day trip to Colombia. I began this photography tour with two days in Bogotá, a massive capital of nine million people (yes, it’s bigger than New York City). I just happened to arrive the day before the year’s largest annual labour...
Last night I attended a sold-out performance at Pablo Cano‘s Red Velvet Theater in Little Havana. The show featured Herman Leghorn performing “Birds Fly South” in the key of Gee Whiz: with Herman Leghorn vocals, ukulele, electric guitar, harmonica , Pablo Cano and his musical marionettes, Brenda Berry vocals and Alex Chun on flute. All songs...

Have you heard of the Commodore Trail? It is a wonderful multi-use County trail that goes through the heart of Coconut Grove and is one of the reasons why I moved here. It really is a beautiful trail used by hundreds of people daily. As an avid recreational and transportation bicyclist, I use...
I’m continually impressed with the photos I can take with my older generation iPhone 4. After two very cold weeks back in my hometown of Kennebunkport, Maine all I wanted to do was hit the beach. I called up my friend Miami musician Herman Leghorn and we hit South Beach. At just 5 megapixels, it...
Here’s this morning’s “guerilla art” project related to the very historic Coconut Grove Playhouse which has been mired in controversy and closed since 2006. To read about this complicated situation, check out the Miami Herald here. Here is a short list of some of the celebrities who have performed at the Playhouse: Tallulah Bankhead, Carol Channing,...
I grew up in a small touristy fishing village in Maine called Kennebunkport. For the last 22 years, my family has gathered there for about a week every July 4th. This year I decided to photograph the week just using my iPhone and I’m amazed with the results. As you can see in the photos,...

My daily bicycle ride at the end of each work day takes me right by each of the marinas in Coconut Grove. The other day I noticed this boat in dry dock and couldn’t resist snapping a picture of it’s transom. What a boat name?! It reminds me of my recent July 4th vacation...
After I returned from my annual family & friends July 4th trip to my hometown Kennebunkport, Maine, I noticed my pants were a little snug. Coincidentally, I then saw an old friend of mine posting a social dieting competition on Facebook using the DietBet website. I read almost the entire site, the rules, FAQ’s, history,...

One of the reasons I moved to Coconut Grove is that I’m able to do about 90% of my weekly errands by bicycle. Sometimes I might be pushing the envelope a little and especially when it’s time to buy dog food for my 85 lb black labrador retriever named Sergei. I used to buy 40...
June 21, 2012 An Open Letter to City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado Dear Mayor Regalado, As a resident of the City of Miami and the Village of Coconut Grove, I was shocked and outraged that the City panel meeting to hear proposals for the development and leasing of the City-owned marina and waterfront in...
I was fortunate enough to be one of the last patrons of Jimbo’s on Virginia Key. Just a few days before they closed, my friend Ashley Swanson of AshandBurn.com fame suggested we drive out for one final visit before the City tore it down. During this pilgrimage to the legendary watering hole (it’s been used...
On Saturday I attended SWEATSTOCK, the music festival celebrating the 7th anniversary of Miami’s coolest indie music store SWEAT RECORDS. I was there because Miami entertainment writer JOHN HOOD had asked me to photograph two bands at the festival he planned to interview. I was totally blown away by the opening song of this Miami-based band Ketchy Shuby...
