Waiting for the bench

A comedic moment in San Sebastian, where I saw four guys sitting on a bench while the only woman was standing. In this day of equal rights and all, its not such a big deal, but I still thought it was a funny moment in the midst of a busy city.

Perfectly Aged

When I saw the beach at the famous Playa de la Concha in San Sebastian for the first time, immediately a beach scene from 1960s movie came into my head - complete with tanning women with their skulls caps and a lifeguard sitting perched up on the tall white chair. Not sure why this...

Away from everything

Another shot in Potes, one of my new favourite villages. Sometimes nature makes you feel very small, and in the greater scheme of things, we are. This planet is huge, and beautiful, and I think once in a while you need to visit a place that will remind of you of this. Standing next to...

The Backyard

Who wouldn't want to wake up in the morning to a view like this? Well, its the view that most people who live in Potes see everyday. Potes is a small village in the region of Cantabria, and is on one of the prettiest. The village is in the centre of the historic Liébana region,...

Sergio

I've been to Spain four times now, and every time we visited, we spent most of the time with family albeit a few day trips here and there. I really haven't travelled around Europe very much, and Spain is my real foray into the region. I love it that this region has so much variety...

Jade

Jade is an awesome tattoo artist. A lot of the people I met that have been photographed for The Tattoo Project have been tattoed by Jade. I kind of like this shot, because she is always never photographed for any of the tattoo shots. She seems tough at first, but she's really a sweetheart....

Ryan

This is Ryan. Ryan has had some work done since the last time I shot him, and he has now an ever mixed bag of tattoos. I like the mix, because they all mean something to him - there are names of people he loves, and symbols of ideologies he respects. All very good reasons...

Waleed

Continuation of the The Tattoo Project. Waleed Is a dog trainer, and I think specializing in a breed called "Belgian Malinois". At the time of taking this picture, he was living in Florida. I caught up with him very quickly to get the picture on the day he was flying back, and got the...

All the Colors in One Place

The scenery in Jamaica is breathtaking. This above picture was taken at Rick's Cafe in Negril, and this is entirely un-photoshopped other than sizing. The rainbow, the sky, the clouds and the people are as they were.... Rick' Cafe is a hotspot in Negril, known for their world famous sunset and for the cliff...

James

During my tour on the Nine-Mile Village Walk, I met James, who is one of the tour guides. He wasn't our tour guide, but he stuck around with us just the same. He is extremely jolly, and kept making cheesy equivalent of knock-knock jokes and then hysterically bursting into laughter at his own jokes. He...

The Rabbit Hole

Paradise through a hole in the wall... at least thats what a lot of people would say when they see this. This is within the confines of the Bob Marley Museum in Bob Marley's hometown, Nine Mile. As you very well may know, Bob Marley and his music are revered...

Bob Marley Land

I think you knew without me saying anything, that Bob Marley might be one of, if not 'the' most important figure in Jamaica. I got introduced to reggae at a young age, and the certain soul in Bob Marley's voice stuck with me. When I was in Jamaica, Bob Marley symbolism was everywhere. I...

Cliché

Aside from the pristine beaches, there is another side of Jamaica landscape that I noticed when I ventured out from the sheltered resort area. When you venture inland, there is a plethora of other scenery that is very different than the tourism posters of Jamaica. I happened to walk off the hotel property, and stumbled...
