My grandma, Doris Hoover, is 95 1/2 years old and my little princess is just 89 years younger. Audrey and I got to spend some time with her on our visit to the states. It was so good to spend some time with her again as it had been just over 5 years since we …
There are a dozen or more Catholic Churches here in Sobral, and Sophie has been wanting to do a photo shoot in front of one. So when she finally caved in and was ready for pictures we went to the newly restored Catedral da Sé. We were going for a bit of an edgy vintage …

It was a very interesting scene Tuesday when Germany beat Brazil 7 to 1 in the quarter finals of the 2014 World Cup. Many of the neighborhoods I visited to photograph were quite quiet in comparison to past games. As the goals stacked up (and the drinks flowed), the defeat and despair turned into laughter …
