Dominican Republic





























From the beautiful sunsets to sunrises and from the beautiful sandy beaches to the ocean the Dominican republic is definitely a very nice vacation destination. I have been 3 times in different locations and have never been disappointed. I have been to Puerto Plata , La Romana and Punta Cana. There is nothing better then sitting on a beach soaking up the sun with all you can drink and eat, it's like taking a vacation from life.

Italy




























Italy my new best friend. One good reason to go to Italy for your vacation is the people. Italians are said to be some of the friendliest people in the world. Their love of life, food, people, art and their great culture steeped in thousands of years of history makes an Italy vacation a great choice for leisure travel. You will find that the people are charming and charismatic. They love family life and music and tend to be freely giving of their affection. During your Italy vacation you will notice that Italians are proud of their heritage and are passionate about everything they do. They are very welcoming to strangers. When the sun starts to bake or your feet are tired, there is the ambrosial pick-me-up of a little plastic bowl of Gelato, the Italian interpretation of ice cream. Smooth, intensely flavored cross between a sorbet and ice cream, laid out in glass-fronted displays in rectangular tubs. The flavors would make Baskin and Robbins run for shame and the taste...ohhh the taste. Some days we had 2 rounds of Gelato. The food for me was outstanding as I love Italian food to begin with, even picking up bread, meats and cheeses to make sandwiches tasted nothing like back home. I will hopefully make it back one day soon…..Viva Italia!!!!

Paris















Ah, Paris, the city of lights. I've been there several times, and every time I visit I am amazed at the feeling that comes over me it's almost like being home for me. The quaint hotels I stayed at and the breakfasts where always great.There are so many things to love about Paris but what I love most is that it just doesn’t disappoint. It’s everything you expect and more.it’s all here, just as one expects – snobby waiters, men walking with baguettes squished under their armpits, beautifully dressed and manicured women, and delicious pastries. Oh the pastries!I thought I’d be put-off by the snobby people or the over-the-top gilding on everything, the tourist sites that had been photographed too many times or the politics. But I ended up falling in love – deeply in love – with the diversity of the people, the food, the fashion, the culture, and yes, even the snobby waiters. It wouldn’t be Paris without them. I will be back Paris.

Children











Why do I love to photograph children ? My response ? "because they are real , genuine and true."Kids are who they are. No masks, no falsities , no agendas. They just want to have fun, scream, laugh, jump, play and explore. Let's face it we as adults don't allow ourselves to do those things because we feel socially awkward and the rules tell us we are no longer allowed. this is why I love to photograph children.
