man looking at girl dancing while in a wheelchair at 6:43 pm on Tuesday


The narrative in this photo is pretty self-evident.  I loved the natural juxtaposition of these two people.  This was taken on Ocean Drive in South Beach, Miami at the Clevelander Bar.

  It was always a photo I wanted to stage in some kind of presentation.  I like the effect of the girl dancing being blurred, a kind of 'blurred' image of youth in contrast to his very stationary position.  He is wheelchair bound and she is youthful movement.  In my mind:   It is more important to capture a strong narrative and if the photo should be good, then all the better, but it need not be technically perfect - well, that's my format.

2 kids playing by their house in appalachia, virginia (almost to the border of west virginia)







The kids in this photograph were playing barefoot outside this house and I was more drawn to the their boundless spirit and joy than the houses in this challenging economic area.  The girl looking through the little window said, "if we really market ourselves on the internet and stuff - we can make it to New York or Paris, or sumpin like that"- Really adorable and i'm sorry I didn't take more photos in this area.  I think when you go into areas that are economically challenged expected to find unhappy people (whether they may children or adults):  You simply will not find them, they tend to be happy with no walls of expectations to climb.  And that should say something.
