Ocean Drive Dressed in Purple

Here is the most iconic place in all of Miami, the infamous Ocean Dr. This places is awesome and always jumping, full of life. I shot this yesterday at my Capture the Sunset Photography Workshp. The weather was so crazy everyone thought I was going to cancel, but remember that bad weather makes good pictures.

Miami Reflections

Here is a shot I took of the amazing Miami skyline form a new angle. This skyline has to be one of the most beautiful in the country, it has all the elements, tall buildings, beautiful sky, water, and some insane boats.

I love shooting around here, you would think that after 7 years I would be over it, but I’m really not, its forever challenging and beautiful.

How I keep things interesting is by going around new places trying to find new perspectives.

South Pointe Long Expo

Here is a long exposure I did almost a year ago, omg where does time go?? I remember this particular morning, one of my friends picked me up and we headed out bright and early. We stopped at this awesome pier to do some long exposures with some filters. It turned out great even though it was very gloomy out this morning.

We stuck around until it was really bright and kept on shooting until we got really really hungry.

South Pointe Pier

Kissed by the sun

Rise and shine, today is the best day ever!!! I woke up at 4am to track Mathews but it is still very peaceful here in Miami. I went to the beach and it was completely empty (even after the sun came up), there is a mild wind carrying an eerie energy with it. There are city workers cleaning up the beach preparing for Mathews, who knows what is going to happen. Here is what I saw, I felt I was being kissed by the sun. This was shot on Oct 5th before hurricane Mathew…

Sunrise Equinox Deering Estate

Here is the Equinox at Deering Estate here in Miami. This place is cool to shoot, the have this palm tree formation around the place that makes for great photos. I have been here twice now and am I’m still to see any clouds. I do like this shot, with or without clouds the blues pop really good.

I’m not sure when I will be coming back to this place, but I am determined to getting a shot of it with some insane clouds…

Hotel Inglaterra Havana Cuba

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.
