I’m no exception – I recently I shot a self portrait for my upcoming Austin coffee table photo book “Austin, Texas: A Photographic Portrait” (coming out in March 2011). This […]

I just got back from a South American journey that put about 3500 more clicks on my trusty Canon 5dmkII. The trip was a photographic gold mine, especially when we traveled into the beautiful Patagonian countryside of Argentina. This photo series covers a small part of the trip where we visited Magellanic Penguins on an […]

Bboy City, Romeo Navarro’s Annual bboy jam, was back in Austin with a vengeance for an amazing 17th time this April. As usual ( ever since Bboy City 8 ) I was at the Parish nightclub documenting the finals, capturing amazing powermoves and sick footwork from the best bboys and bgirls from around the world. […]

In an upscale suburb just outside of Kuala Lampur, something extraordinary happens every night.
