Desaturated Soul

Nude

I often see human qualities in mannequins.   Perhaps it's the angle in which I photograph that enhances their humanity.  In this case, I see a graceful and confident figure, relaxed as she basks in the warmth of the room.  Although my photography is primarily black and white, many photographs are tinted.

DESATURATED SOUL

DESATURATED SOUL is in the final stages of production and will be published shortly.    The book contains photographs compiled during the last ten years.   Prose accompanies each photograph and is used as a description for the images.

Remnants of Crypto-Jews Among Hispanic Americans

REMNANTS OF CRYPTO-JEW AMONG HISPANIC AMERICANS    This project began as a photography project long before any idea of publishing a book entered my mind.   As time progressed,  my interviews with descendants of Jews from the Spanish Inquisition increased.   It was then that I decided to look for a publisher and found Floricanto Press.   My goal is to educate, with the hope that many will find the truth about their heritage.  The oral histories, accompanied by photographs,  portray the lives of many whose families suffered at the hands of the Inquisition.   Although this happened so many years ago, the forced conversions from Judaism to Catholicism are still very much alive in the hearts and minds of these people.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone Park is magical, with its geysers and steam columns clouding the air.  The visitor is provided with many configurations of the elements throughout the park.   

Sea of Darkness

I don't remember where this image was taken, but I am always attracted to the light in the midst of  darkness.   The light area of the water seems to create a passageway for the boats, and enables us to comprehend the vastness of our waterways.

Toward Manhattan

Rush hour in Manhattan is reputed to be a dreaded experience for any New Yorker.   However, I noticed great beauty in the reflections on the cars and the water.  Take a second look on your next trip in New York City.   You might find your ride more interesting.

Mass Ascension

  New Mexico hosts an annual Balloon Fiesta.  People travel great distances to ride in a balloon.   About 700 balloons reach the sky during this event, and the view of them floating through the air is a sight to behold.

Peek at Paris

Paris is my favorite city.   It has beauty, culture, and style. . .more than I have found in other parts of the world.   One view is more beautiful than the next.   Here, looking through a museum sculpture, I am able to see a considerable distance away and find Montmartre.

The Entertainers

Visiting a Russian nightclub, I was able to photograph many unusual images of the entertainers.   Their costumes and style reminded me of early vaudeville.

Patriots

I saw this scene near a store in PA.   It appeared that they came out of the forest to improve the image of our country...and make us strong.
