Varying Degrees of Social Distancing / Miami New Times
On Tuesday, March 17, after orders from Gov. Ron DeSantis for all Florida bars and nightclubs to close from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., South Beach observed varying degrees of social distancing. Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive were scattered with groups of spring break tourists who didn't seem bothered by the threat of a global pandemic. Miami Beach Police posted in squads along the barricades blocking Lummus Park, ignoring groups of tourists. Española Way maintained moderate crowds enjoying a late dinner, and the walk-up window at Sunny's on Collins Avenue was packed. Lincoln Road, however, was almost completely empty and eerily quiet with outside cafés stacked and restaurants closed up. Shot for Miami New Times.
People Watching @ Calle Ocho Carnaval
Calle Ocho was loud and colorful for Carnaval on Sunday, March 13.
I spent the sweltering afternoon weaving between vendors and stages, people watching on the clogged stretch of blocked off street. These are a few of my favorite characters I ran into. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
September Art Walk
Miami got a muggy Saturday for September's Art Walk - overcast skies packed in the heat and humidity. I spent the evening in Wynwood people watching between thunderstorms. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
Detroit
June 8 - 9 | Special Olympics / North Unified Relay Across America
Cruising through the surrounding streets of Detroit, MI, so much is overgrown, abandoned and dilapidated. You can tell the city really used to be something in it's prime - but now homes, businesses and storefronts are hollow shells of what they used to be. It's beautiful and sad.
