Tourist Photography!

I have written before about how tourists are different from professional photographers who can visit a location for a week or a month or more just to get a specific image that they are after. Casual tourists don't have that luxury. They are in and out of a place quickly. So, how can the ordinary tourist come back with some spectacular images? One answer is to "look for the light."

When Looking Good Becomes a Tragic Obsession

 

A beautiful 28-year-old Eurasian woman, LISA (not her real name), came to me to have eyelid surgery.  This was not at all an uncommon request.

I performed the eyelid surgery for Lisa. She was very happy with the results. Only it...

Shopping Cart

 

Homeless people might appear to be funny. Grooming is not high on their list of things to do. They wear bizarre combinations of tattered clothes.  Sometimes they shout into garbage cans at nothing at all.  Pushing grocery carts full of cans and rotten scraps of food -- they hoard to make themselves feel safe and like they have a home.  And while they look funny, smell funny and act funny, most of them are mentally ill, and that...
