In the heart of Miami’s Design District, the new Clima Home stands as a testament to modern architectural brilliance. Recently, I was commissioned by Camcon construction, one of my long-time clients, for a shoot at this iconic location. With over three decades in architectural photography, each project for me is an opportunity to explore and exhibit the artistry embedded in structures. At the heart of my gear is the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, a game-changer in aerial photography.

We had driven an hour down a dirt road surrounded by towering mountains, high in the Andes Mountains. Our place of origin was of no meaning, now with every turn down this dusty road we sunk deeper into the past. Past farms, land tilled by hand, rows of crops intersected in the traditional manner, rows of peas with corn planted in between surrounded by the thorns of blackberry.

We stopped the car, and got out, my feet touched the earth and rock below, and looking out, we saw a grand vista, a valley of green, cows and ..read more

We Bid Farewell As dusk began to set in I bid farewell to my wife and two kids, then begin the 1-hour trek to th ..read more

In the minds of many, Hurricane Ian has come and gone, the world has moved on. Even as I sit here in my studio in Miami, only a 2-hour drive away from where Ian came ashore, life is, and has been much the same. Yet for the folks on Matlacha Island, life is far from normal. Matlacha is an old Florida fishing village, about 45 min north of Fort Myers Beach, which itself was wiped off the map by Ian. Matlacha is a barrier island that captured all the charm of “old Florida”. Before the storm, the island was lined with bright festive stores and bars where the old-school fisherman and shrimpers wou ..read more
