While in Ethiopia a few years ago I was invited to photograph at the facilities of a prominent coffee exporter. Addis Exporter sources and exports green coffee beans around the world (that day by chance, two of the best coffee purveyors in the US were there cupping the offerings; Intelligentsia and Counter Culture Coffee). The space was…

Ethiopian Coffee Country
In January of 2015 I spent a week photographing in the Ethiopian coffee regions for Green Mountain Coffee. Here is a small sampling of the 3000 images I made. The job called for mostly landscapes (to be used on the boxes of a new product) but I couldn’t help but to capture the workers as well and also show the…
Gentrification in Bushwick for New York Magazine blog, Bedford & Bowery
I did a story on the gentrification going on in Bushwick, Brooklyn for Bedford and Bowery, a new New York Magazine blog a couple of weeks ago. Hipsters are moving in and integrating their culture with what has been for the last years a predominately Latin neighborhood. The juxtapositions are incredibly visual and ubiquitous. Barber shops and…
Tin-foiled covered kitchens of the Crown Heights Jews.
During the Passover holiday’s of the Jewish religion observant Jews go thru the laborious but important task of cleaning out all and any trace of “Chametz” (or leavened bread) from their home. And they get VERY intense about it as its one of the greatest religious transgressions if one ingests any bread during the holiday…
ENGLAND!!!, in all its strange and wondrous glory.
The “English breakfast”. I went to Stonehenge on the Winter Solstice in search of Neo-Druids and I was not let down.

Thousands of pantheist, pagan, neo-druids and hippies…

While acquiring the Beijing Hack during the wait for a Visa to Mongolia I ate the same truly magnificent sandwich everyday for 8 days….

The on-line newspaper I am working with just published a story on an old Italian bakery in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Some fun shots in the series… Sicilian Bakery
Cayman in the market…
This little hog-tied pre-historic reptile was in the Belen market in Iquitos. It was nice to get with-in inches from an animal you would never really get to see let alone study but it was bitter-sweet, as it sucks seeing a beautiful animal waiting to die in such a manner.
