One of the coolest signs and drugstores fronts I have ever seen. This is Allens Drugs. It is located on Bird street in Miami Florida. Every time I drive by it I want to shoot it. Well it is a very busy intersection and the time is never really idea, but this day it was. I had a red light and I jumped out of my car to get a couple shots. I’m very happy I did because this store has been taken down. Someone purchased the property to build and this beautiful vintage icon is no longer there. Its sad to see building being torn down left and right only to build new ones. The old has character and beauty, new ones are just that new, they have lots to learn and lots to see.
I shoot lots of properties here in Miami and across the world. I shot this one in Miami for a designer. It was nothing super spectacular but I really really liked it. The elegance in the simplicity of it just made this one of my favorite properties I have ever shot. It was a single family home located in South Miami. I got the phone call to shoot it as soon as the designer got finished. I gladly accepted and I am glad I did.

I love signs, I always find my self taking pictures of them. I think it is important to persevere them even if its with a photo. I shot this a while back in Reno Nevada. I found it so cool, I added a texture to it and this is the result.
By the way, did you look at this awesome phone booth???? I wonder if it’s still there!!!
Her is a photo of a cool sign in Little Havana Miami. I was actually on my way to check out an event when I stumbled upon this awesome sign. It looks to be an architectural firm, but the sign is insane!!!! I had to stop and get a flick!! I mean wouldn’t you?!?!?
This is one of the coolest paces to check out in Havana. It’s a really cool old hotel but not only that, there is a really cool bar on the roof complete with live music and really cheap beer.
Now if you look at this picture close this is not the actual hotel, it is only the sign, this is the building next to it, but you get the idea.
I really liked it here, the roof top overlooks the Parque Central and it is amazing.
Nothing beats live music, cold beer, and an amazing view specially in Havana.
Here is an epic photo of Miami under the moon. I shot this the other day from a rooftop with my good friend. Its always awesome shooting epic pictures form new spots with specially with good friends. We stayed here until the moon completely set. It was the perfect end to another amazing and epic day.
