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.

Gay Pride 2007

I have this annual tradition of photographing a group of friends who dress up every year for Gay Pride in New York. This year I flew out there just for the occasion and, like last year, rented a couple of expensive lenses to document the whole thing.

Above is the whole group posing just before embarking to crash the parade.

Jesse as Flaming Queen

Jesse, Cool Dan and and Rachel as Queens of the Jungle. Cool Dan had a broken foot so he "marched" this year's parade in a wheel chair.

From the lefth: Shaniabear as Trashy Queen, Michael as Anita Seatbelt - aka Lady Die, Sexy Dan as the Queen of Pop, Jesse as Flaming Queen and Bam Bam as Queen Bee

Javier as Queen of the Damned gets his hair done by Harrison

Anita Seatbelt - the Would-be Queen

Shaniabear as Trashy Queen

Cool Dan and Rachel as Queens of the Jungle. They're like some crazy mix of Tarzan, Kiss and Captain & Tenille.

I put up nearly 100 photos from the parade. Derek, the groups Videographer, has put up a YouTube Page of Queen Clips.

Also, please check out Jesse's amazing Blog, Jesse on the Brink.

This is the fourth year I've documented the group's antics. See also: 2003, 2004 and 2006

2005 I was in Sao Paulo.

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 I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
