After the Castro revolution of the late 1950s a flood of Cuban refugees landed in Miami and settled in a neighborhood just west of downtown Miami. They created a vibrant community and the name “Little Havana” emerged in the 1960s. Little Havana is famous as the cultural and political capital of Cuban Americans, and the neighborhood is still a center of the Cuban exile community. In 2017 the National Trust for Historic Preservation declared the neighborhood a national treasure. This image is a celebration of this unique area. The colours, the characters, the ambiance from my point of view, an outsider. This image is a composite of several different images taken in the same session and manipulated in post production. Elements have been added and subtracted from the scene in an attempt to control what cannot normally be controlled. The idea is to let the environment speak for itself without too much of the clutter of real life. From an ongoing series. Unframed - 42x28 in. Limited edition of 25. About My Work I believe in giving my clients beautiful prints using the finest archival inks and papers. For additional sizes and framing options, please contact me. All limited edition photographic prints are signed and include a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.

I was brought up spanning two cultures - Japanese and British - with the associated benefits, confusion and identity crises. ​Although my initial love was architecture I found photography, or perhaps it found me, while in University in London. ​I worked as a photojournalist around the world for almost 20 years, covering all types of news, from the conflict zones of the middle east to the plush boardrooms of Asia. A new chapter of my life started when I moved to Miami with my family. The light, the colours, the architecture, the environment - mixed together to provide the inspiration for my current works in progress. Meditation has played a large part in my overcoming some of the negative effects of working as a photojournalist under difficult conditions. ​In my latest work I am trying to showcase the environment in which we live while trying to lessen the sensory overload that we experience while living in urban centers. To turn down the volume and increase the Zen. I do this by using long exposures and photoshop to remove certain elements and add others. I hope you enjoy looking at these images as much as I do making them.
