Miami skyline silhouetted against dramatic dusk sky over calm waters.

Miami is one of these great places that is a really sensual, physically beautiful place.

Michael Mann

Miami, mi alma


Miami has always been home and likely always will be. Regardless of where I go, I take Miami with me. She lives in me and calls to me. I see this city as a giving partner in a relationship driven by passion. There are highs and lows, but there is always love. This gallery attempts to present Miami as I see it. With rose colored glasses, to be sure, and with a hint of nostalgia, certainly, but authentically.

White umbrellas and lounge chairs line a pristine beach with turquoise waters.
