Cairo, for me, is all about contrasts and contradictions.  The brilliant colors and lights inside of the Mohammed Ali Mosque at the Citadel are a stark contrast to the mono chrome colors of the dry heat in Cairo.  Outside the vista was of sandy hues; mud brick exteriors of buildings as far as the eye could see; and, the wild mangy dog hopelessly searching for some food in the dry earth.

I love the timeless of this photo and especially the light reflecting off of the steel.  This photo to me is a poem of questions and wonder.

Paraguay! What an adventure. Found the Legislative Building.  It was an elegant building on the river’s edge surrounded by a shanty town.  I had tried to walk through the shanty town but was asked not to for my own safety by a kind lady who lived in one of the tin huts and a police officer.  In the midst of this social chaos of power and poverty, I was struck by the beauty of this steel staircase and the light coming through the windows.

I love photographing Paris with my Holga! This image started my series of photographs on the relationship between light and steel and the resulting sense of lightness. This image is copyright protected. Please contact for permission to use or purchase.
