"American Dream"
Florida is a very commercialized place. There are not
many places you can go to escape the glitz and the
glamour. However, in Miami, there is a district called
Little Haiti where most of the Haitians live. Haiti is an
Island in the Caribbean and is one of the poorest
nations in the western hemisphere. Many immigrants
come to America for the dream but sometimes find
themselves in the same poverty they tried to escape.
This picture shows a lot of emotion. I did not get the
kids to pose at all.
"Blessen Tire"
The crew at Blessen Tire, Atlanta. This is a project on
Blue Collar workers and their working surroundings. I
was really trying to go for a vintage look here. And yes
that is the correct spelling of the place.
"Fire, Tires, & Poverty"
As gas prices doubled in Ecuador in 1999, mass
protest erupted in the country. People reacted by
digging trenches in the road and creating
barricades to stop production in the in the coastal
city of Guayaquil.

This scene shows street kids in the middle of the
chaos.
Hog Hammock's 56 residents are descendants
of the 800 slaves who lived on Thomas
Spalding's Sapelo plantation in the early
Nineteenth Century. The Gullah village, with its
unique cultural, artistic, and linguistic traditions,
is without a doubt the most unusual community
in Georgia. Old timers speak Geechee, a
colorful creole that blends English with a
number of African languages, primarily from the
western coast.
Miami River Docks is a very interesting
place where people from around the
world work. Here is a portrait of a
Cuban American fisherman.
