This was my 2nd engagement shoot in two days at the end of a long week but was still full of energy and dynamic images with YuFang and Trent.

KIPP School is preparing under-served students for college. My friend Marisa teaches an art class there every other Saturday and had me come in as a guest lecturer. The amazingly well behaved students were open to hearing about my journey around the world and making a career as a photographer. It was a challenge for me to actually speak about myself and my work and then engage the students for three different classes, but definitely a rewarding challenge.

Last week I was contracted to shoot a full-page portrait of a UT Professor for the magazine, Focus On Science, put out by the College of Natural Sciences.  The professor, Dr. Bajaj, is pushing the frontier of 3d visualization of things like molecules and viruses and other fun small stuff.

International Foodservice Editorial Council was in town last week at the Omni. They hired me to cover the event over a few days. There was plenty of food and wine to go around.

Apologies for being incommunicado for the last two weeks. Since returning from Merida, it’s been non-stop business and craziness which is partly encouraging and partly dementiafying.

Enjoy some of these select images from my week in the Yucatan Peninsula–on assignment for Central Abroad Program.
