Yellow


This image is from my trip to Brazil, where the fruit is incomparable. I like these papayas and passion fruits in their basket...

Pure Energy


I took this picture at a small club in Bed-Stuy in March of 2008. The woman in the picture is Simone. I love the light trains in this, and it really looks like her energy is exploding all over the picture. She put on a great show, and I think this image depicts the excitement of that night.

Jackfruit


Although you may not necessarily know that from this photograph. I love exploring textures in photography, and taking things out of context. This is a perfect example of that. I don't like how the light tapers out at the bottom of the photograph, but I suppose there is nothing I can do about that short of heavily manipulating this photo.

Chickens in the Trees


These chicken figurines are in my grandmother's kitchen. I suppose they hold a particular significance for me because, as I was snapping away with my camera, she would be tut-tutting behind me. These are called Angolese chicken, and they have black feathers with white dots. They are a very popular folk art item in great swaths of Brazil.
