Hi! Thanks for visiting. I'm an American photographer living in Buenos Aires. These are photos from the blog I kept on my site from 2003 to 2009. I now have redesigned the home page to just show a portfolio of my current work. I also blog at BuenosAiresPhotographer.com where I post my baires snapshots.

Stuphin Blvd./Archer Ave. at about 3am going into Manhattan from JFK. Like the crazy person I am, I took the subway into the city in the middle of the night. I remembered, as I borded the train, that the E line is the preferred one for homeless people. It's the only subway line that travels entirely underground and most trains use those old crappy cars with the flat gray benches--perfect for streching out.

Panama City
My bizarre arrival time in NYC was gracias a Copa Airlines, the Panamanian carrier. Panama City has this whole Dubai-vibe going on. It's not a big city--under a million, but the whole water-front is lined with these 50-story condo buildings. One of the characters in the John Le Carre film, "The Tailor of Panama", refers to them as the Cocaine Towers. I'm sure the 85 banks there aren't earning their keep from free checking. I regretted not having my camera out as we came in for a landing. Flickr, tho, has lots of pictures of Panama City's big, tall buildings.

In searching I was reminded that there's also a Panama City, Florida which is a big spring break destination. A search reveals not only tall buildings and Panama's famous tricked-out school buses but also hot, hunky guys on spring break. Not bad.

Hi. I'm a 33 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. Currently I'm posting most of my pictures on BuenosAiresPhotographer.com. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
