ON THE FENCE (2022) 

Something new, in celebration of a year with Glass. It’s been an absolute pleasure to have made so many new (and super-talented) friends on this platform, and to be a part of this wonderful community.  Happy 1st, Glass! To many more…🎉 And no pun intended, with the title ;)

EMILIA PHOTOGRAPHE

A favorite from my PALM TREE Series . . . 

PALM TREE Series, #7 (2019)

BEYOND THE SEA (2022) 

Sunken.
Entranced. 
Beyond the sea,
A pair of floating feet.


Been playing a bit more with double exposure, and I have to say, I’m liking the results…


EVERGREEN (2016) 

A favorite from the archives…

FLOATING (2022)

Los Angeles skyline floating in the afternoon haze. 

“ISOLATED” (2020)

This photograph is one from a series I began during the pandemic titled, INNOVATE. Shot in the midst of many months under lockdown, this moment I felt captured the sullen silence and effects of isolation.

It was selected and displayed in the 2021 “Shades of Grey” Group Exhibition at Black Box Gallery in Portland, Oregon, and earned an Honorable Mention at the 17th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards. 

THE RIDE (2022) 

This photograph is probably one of my absolute favorites so far taken with the Sony A7IV. So glad I splurged on the new lightweight telephoto lens. Just love what it does. Can’t seem to bring myself to use the starter lens. 

FOREST FOR THE TREES (2019) 

One from my Raindrops series, this photograph received an Honorable Mention at this year’s 11th Annual MOBILE PHOTO AWARDS (MPA).  

PASANDO EL TIEMPO (2019)

This photograph received 3 Honorable Mentions: one at the International Photography Awards (IPA), and two at the 17th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards for Street Photography and the Black & White category. 

Couldn’t have asked for a better serendipitous moment at the Barcelona Cathedral! 

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, on any portal. The thrill of sharing work for me on social media has somehow sadly vanished, and I’ve come to realize just how much I truly enjoyed posting week after week. I think it’s due to a combination of burn out over the course of the pandemic, and just feeling overwhelmed & overloaded with so much content on social. Putting in time, effort, and heart in your work to end up getting lost in the shuffle day after day not only kills your creativity, but brings an unwanted feeling of reluctance. I haven’t picked up a camera in weeks. 

Hopefully, this low shall soon pass, as we all navigate & adapt to changes on social, as the true creatives that we are. Low points do lead to high points. I do believe that. 

Meanwhile, I thought to share this photograph. Part of a recent project for a client, I blew up the image into a 32 x 42 in print. (A first for me to print so large!) And it turned out beautifully. I must admit, nothing beats seeing your work in print. Who knew you could print an iPhone photo this large? Resolution was pretty perfect. 

“PALM TREE SERIES, #12” (2019)

LADY WITH A HAT (2019)

Shot this at the “Hats and Veils” exhibition at Photo LA…

SPOTLIGHT (2020) 

I vividly remember taking this photograph in the midst of the uncertainty of being on the verge of a global pandemic. Who would have thought what life would be like just weeks later?

It received 3 Honorable Mentions in 2021: one at the Minimalist Photography Awards (MPA), one at the International Photo Awards (IPA), and one at the Budapest International Foto Awards (BIFA). 

SUP (2020)

This photograph was published in Mobiography Magazine in the August 2021 issue, and also received an Honorable Mention (1 of 7) at this year’s 11th Annual Mobile Photography Awards (MPA’s). 

A great moment on a family getaway on the Big Island of Hawaii in April during lockdown.

VISION IN CONCRETE SERIES, #2 (2018)

This image received Honorable Mention for 2021 at Le Prix de la Photographie-Paris(PX3) & the Moscow Int’l Foto Awards(MIFA). 

And just yesterday!! 1 of 7 Honorable Mentions at this year’s Mobile Photography Awards(MPA). It’s truly humbling, because the level of work showcased this year was just outstanding. It’s an honor to be included amongst them. 

A still frame from a short vignette I made called BOUNCE 2.0 from my RAINDROPS series. Since video isn’t available on Glass, maybe check it out on my IG reels?

Los Angeles city skyline engulfed in fog…

REAR VIEW (2019) 

A mid-century modern perspective at a car show in Los Angeles. The reflection of palm tree leaves superimposed over the back of a 1960's Maserati created a mood and a feeling of nostalgia for what mid-century modern life must have looked like in L.A. in the 1960's. 

This photograph received Honorable Mention at the 2021 Int’l Photo Awards (IPA), 2021 Budapest Int’l Foto Awards (BIFA), 2021 Black & White Spider Awards, and 2020 Mobile Photography Awards (MPA).
