These are some of my favorite images from 2009. Most all of these photos were  captured by me though there are a couple that I rediscovered in the same time frame. The locations include; France, Belgium, the Grenadine Islands, West Indies, Kuwait, Peru, L.A. and New York mostly… Some are published in magazines or newspapers, all of them are meaningful for me; maybe it’s the shooter, the subject or the place and time.
