Join Us For Beer, Wine, Raffles and More…

You are cordially invited to celebrate the culture and people of Honduras with me on November 19th from 5:00p.m. – 8:00p.m.. I will be hosting a small gallery opening displaying a selection of pieces from the Retrato/Portrait Project; an endeavor I led in January 2017 to bring portraits to remote villages in Honduras.

Through the project over one hundred families have been provided a priceless heirloom of a family portrait. Many of you had a large part in making that happen. I’m passionate about our community to continuing learn and share in the global community. So, lets continue by gathering together and learning more about the world around us.

The gallery opening will feature guest speakers Herman and Amanda Sagastume. They will give a brief discussion on the work of Healthy Ninos Honduras (the organization I collaborate with to bring the Retrato/Portrait Project to life) and their tireless endeavor to end malnutrition in Honduras. I will also share about Retrato/Portrait Project. Enjoy beer and wine provided by Round Guys Brewing Company. A portion of beer and wine sale proceeds will go to Healthy Ninos Honduras. Enjoy light fare, also provided by Round Guys. There will be raffles from top community businesses which will help continue my work as a family photographer in Honduras.

RSVP asap as space is limited. RSVP by simply replying to this message “yes” and the number of people who will be attending in your party.

My camera was by my side. I sat in San Diego’s iconic Balboa park after a long day of exploring. Dave was napping next to me. I sipped my beer and people-watched. I noticed one couple in particular. They lingered for quite some time in the park; hovering in twitterpation close to one another.

I wondered how it would be to walk up to two strangers and offer a five minute impromptu photo session… and then I walked up to two strangers and offered a five minute impromptu photo session. I wanted everything that came with that very moment they were in. I wanted the beer in their hands, the light coming in from the west and the spontaneity of it all. I didn’t want to move them to a spot with better lighting or adjust her hat or his hair. I just wanted to capture two people exactly where there were in a moment in time. I wanted to see what happens when strangers meet suddenly, collaborate briefly and then exit each others worlds, presumably forever.

I took her email and sent the images a few days later.

Stay tuned for my next five minute photoshoot.
