Vintage Cars + Art Deco + Palm Trees | South Beach, Miami

A couple of weekends ago I made a quick trip to Miami for a friend’s wedding. So happy for them and was looking forward to some sunshine and warmth. Well, I got one of the two – it was so cold, seriously, about the same temps as Chicago. Oh well, a change of scenery is […]
Great Architecture in the Miami Design District
One of the highlights of our upcoming Miami workshop is definitely the Miami Design District. Located north of the city center, it’s an outdoor shopping center with luxury brands. What makes it unique is the care that was given to the design and architecture of most of the buildings and store in the district. It […]
Miami Workshop Recap, Day 2 – 2019

Our second day in Miami began with sunrise at Watson Island. We were greeted by an enormous cruise ship blocking the view of the city, so instead of cityscape shots, I photographed more clouds behind me. Again, I’ll share those soon.

Miami Scouting, Day 2!

Earlier this week I covered one of the areas we’ll be photographing during the January workshop in Miami. Today we’ll explore a couple more. First, a little stop in Miami Beach. No trip is complete without visiting a Frank Gehry design. The New World Center is a concert hall and clearly Gehry. While it wasn’t […]
Miami Scouting, Day 1

Last month I spent a few days checking out the amazing architecture of Miami for an upcoming workshop Michael Muraz and I will be teaching in January. It’s been over 7 years since I’ve been here and that was a much different trip, girls weekend, not a whole lot of photography 😉 This time was […]
