“Chinese Mojo” Chinese Mojo is a project of symbolism and expressionism, a cross-cultural family album. Every object has a story, every picture tells a story. Some are valuable objects while others were simple everyday items. It is a visual tapestry, a visual treasure box. Ultimately, a family story is unveiled in photography and words.

  “Dance with me” As the title implies, this photo series evokes auditory and sensory responses. After all, you dance to music, not to photographs – nor do the photos focus on musicians or musical subjects. The subjects are Puerto Rico, Martinique or other Caribbean islands. Capturing this rhythmically intensive culture visually begs the other senses to tune to a rich island lifestyle.
