Streets

Neon Glance
Tokyo, Japan

Waiting in the shadows for the perfect passer-by, caught in the perfect light.

Then she turned, brushed in pink neon — a fleeting glance, captured in time.

Two men sitting at a dining table having a conversation in a restaurant or cafe. The view is through a frosted glass wall.

The Salary Men

Through the misted glass, two colleagues unwind after another long day. On the outside, a photographer imagines the rest of their movie.

Emerging from a place of tranquility, she paused for a moment, caught between silence, and the chaos beyond.

Three Wheels and a Wrench
Goa, India

In the heat of the afternoon, a driver crouches beside his rickshaw, coaxing a little more life from the engine.

Three wheels, battered paint, and endless journeys ahead.

A street view of Patel Kaju Trader store selling cashew nuts, dry fruits, spices, and other products. The store has large red and yellow signs with shop name and offerings in English and Gujarati. There are bags of cashew nuts outside, and a girl walking by barefoot. The shop is decorated with garlic and chili strings, and has a colorful display of products inside.

The Spice Trade
Goa, India

Cashews piled high, the warm scent of spice drifting out, and a barefoot girl in red passing through — just a slice of life in Goa.

Suspense
Porto de Galinhas, Brazil.

While travelling in northern Brazil, my friend Marcio and I saw a man sprint down the beach and perform three backflips in a row.

Marcio asked, in Portuguese, if he’d mind doing it again for the camera — he kindly agreed. Three attempts later, I captured this shot.

When I showed him the result on the back of the camera, he lit up. I offered to email it to him, but he smiled and said, “I don’t have email.”

Perhaps one day he’ll see it here. Obrigado, amigo.

A fast-moving vehicle, likely a taxi, passing in front of a building with the sign 'Cafe 28' and a traffic light showing red at a city intersection.

Paused in reflection
New York City, USA

Horns honk, sirens wail, and a streak of orange cuts through the city that never slows. Reflected in the glass, a lone figure watches as the moment slips by — a split second, forever paused.

A crowd of people crossing a city street at night near a red traffic signal, with buildings, parked cars, and street signs visible in the background.

After Hours
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, USA

The night spills onto the street — friends, strangers, and a backbeat of bass.

He stood in the doorway of his shop, caught in a slice of late-afternoon sun, watching the day drift by.

A person sitting on a stool at a street shop, with various small items hanging on a rack beside them, and posters of a man playing guitar displayed on the wall behind.

Light and shade

Hard shadows on the posters, soft shade on the shopkeeper — a quiet pause in the afternoon heat.

Time

The sun slipped beneath the horizon, waves crashed at his feet. A solitary moment of quiet, against the last light of the day.

The Bay
Menorca, Spain

The sea was warm, the light was soft, and he moved quietly toward deeper water. A small ritual at the edge of the evening.

Waves
Goa, India.

On a rented scooter, I followed the shoreline without a plan — just the sound of the waves and smiles of the people who shared the day.

Retired

Left to rust in the sun,
at the end of its road.
Filled with fond stories,
of journeys untold.

Something eerie was in the air that night.

Caught between a sliver of light and the weight of the city.
