Weekly Photo Challenge: Community

There’s an exciting sense of community among soccer fans rooting for their team. Here, Brazilian soccer fans, in pre-World Cup mode, root for our beloved “Seleção Canarinha.” Will Brazil win its 6th World Cup at home in 2014? I sure hope so! 🙂IMG_0191

Travel Theme: Symbol

As I searched for photos for this week’s Travel Theme, “Symbol,” I came across this one, where the American flag (a national symbol) is embracing a palm tree (one of Los Angeles’ unofficial symbols). I thought this was, well, symbolic… 🙂IMG_0855

A Word a Week Challenge: Behind

Lao Tzu said: “To lead the people, walk behind them.” And so I did… and snapped a few photos while at it… 😉

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Candid Shots

I love catching those spontaneous moments when people are just being themselves and going about their business. I’ve gotten some nasty reactions when photographing strangers, so I try to do it in a non-obtrusive way or with their permission. Here is a series of candids taken in Santa Monica and Venice, California.
