a storytelling
I am always in search of new stories to tell
Two of my passions are teaching and street photography. I am a 5th grade teacher and I love being with my students every day. I enjoy watching them gain self-confidence and become better critical thinkers by year's end.
The light is frequently very bright where I live in Tucson, Arizona. However, this can often help create photos with sharp contrasts and intense shadows. I love the challenge that street photography brings; you never know what you might discover on the street. I enjoy the serendipitous moments one can capture, when the light and the actions of people on the street come together to create an intriguing image. I am interested in capturing interactions between people as well as emotions that make for an interesting story.
I travel to San Francisco three times a year on personal photo safaris armed with my Ricoh GR II. San Francisco is a street lover's paradise. The architecture is sublime and there are so many fascinating people on the streets.
I am always in search of new stories to tell.
“A street photographer has to be ever observant while on the street because most scenes only last for a few seconds before being lost forever.”
Jay Tanen by Don Scott

An astonishing image. The lonely thinker with an iguana... will he be his mate? An encounter between two lost beings?
