Walking the beach in Nosara Costa Rica I saw them for a moment in the surf and wanted to play too. I disappeared unnoticed with the roar of the waves.• • • • • #costarica #beaches #sunset #puravida #nosara #familia #fathersandsons #photojournalism #sky_brilliance #everything_imaginable #clickmagazine #streetsgrammer #nature #guanacaste #turningthetide #water #backwater #waterpollution #skymasters_family #life #sustainability #health #thefuture #animals #environmentalist #oceanconservation #sky_sultans #extinction #sky

Ending my Saturday with a full heart! Feeling extra lucky that I had the opportunity to spend the evening with Heather and Eric on their last day in Boston. Despite the wind and chance of rain showers, these two kept smiling the whole way. Their laughter was contagious which is why this may be my favorite photo from their engagement session.

This week I have finally feel I am working more in my photography rather than unpacking boxes in our new home in #Maine . You can see all our house renovation in @that_capehouse I still have a to do list next to me but,will taking things slowly. I have accomplished enough to move on and set other goal in Maine. Our house look like home and I have a desk with a 2018 calendar. Can't wait to keep the journey full of adventures and positive vibes for all. Head over to my website link in profile, I just upload a beautiful wedding. Enjoy!

I remember when I started exploring documentary photography, it was challenging for me to photograph people. I had so many questions! How do I approach someone? What do I say? Little by little I started to fall in love with the act of documenting human life. Now? I #LOVE taking pictures of human life in raw form. I try to create images that'll hold society up to people's faces. Force you, the viewer, to look at something you might overlook. This is why I love documentary photography. #FlakoVeli #ThinkAndCreate #Homeless #Man #Cold #Winter #Street #Blanket #Money #Change #Help #Boston #Downtown #Documentary #Photography #Photo #Photographer #Canon #Picture #Image #Candid #Human #Share
