Soapy bokeh and Flares 😍 It's why I love the vintage Auto Sears (Rikenon) 55mm f/1.4 with the Amazing hair of Kendra. I edited with Portra 400 from Filmist 2. It's sharp, but wide open has strong, colorful flares.

We could, of course, add a hood or a hand... But I like to lean into the flares for portraits, especially in hard light. The blur and flare combined are unique here.

In a world of AI fake perfection, I often find myself picking up old $50 lenses over my perfect modern glass. 25 years of portraits has taught me that atmosphere contributes far more to a photo than technically perfect lenses or edits.

En . The fair is a place you do not need to buy a ticket for. It's on our streets. It's kids laughing, men having a beer with friends, and lovers dancing. If you want to see the heart of Mexico, go to the neighborhood fair.

In 🇲🇽 the city is alive ♥️ In our outrage, do we fight for justice? In our smiles, do we heal hearts? In our distractions, is there music? In our pain, do we learn love? 📸 The task of a true journalist is not to repeat a press release. It is to ask questions and remind us who we are.

We are in . Authenticity is not in the artificial, or a photo perfectly captured ♥️ Its the mirada of a stranger, the working hands of the artisan. 🇲🇽 It's the light of afternoon where life touches heaven. It's the smell of coffee freshly made, a kiss on the cheek and a comforting hand in the darkness 📸
