America’s Favorite Photos
Rekindling America’s Appreciation of Photography

Survivor under a ray of sun.

Life is fragile and strong at the same time, along with the immense beauty and balance of textures created by the light in the right place at the right time. As I walked through the park one day with camera in hand, I stumbled upon this hardy Tillandsia (Air Plant) in the middle of a pine tree bark and being awed about how nature just survives so beautifully.

My photography started when I got my very first 35mm camera back in 1986, marking the beginning of an artistic journey that has shaped my life for years obtaining AA in Commercial Photography from The A.I. of Fort Lauderdale in 1993. Today I'm a photographer in Miami for products and food.
