This is another portrait from my recent trip to New Orleans. I found Jed playing stand up bass in a band on the street in the French Quarter. I approached him during a break and it turns out the band came all the way down to New Orleans from Maine just to play on the streets. I found this great wall right around the corner and shot this in about 5 minutes.

I just returned from a fly fishing trip in the jungles of Costa Rica. Manny was one of the fishing guides at the lodge where I stayed. As soon as I saw him on the dock I was struck by the soulfulness of his face and eyes. I asked him if I could shoot his portrait and he agreed. I came prepared with my cameras and a reflector just in case. The background I selected is the side of the cabin that I stayed in.
