Selected Portraits from my recent travels

I like to take candid portraits when I'm out and about - it works well - when people aren't expecting a camera to be shoved in their face, it's even better. Sometimes, their reaction to the camera makes the portrait even better.

These are some of my favorite shots of the people I met, interacted with, and otherwise encountered while on my recent trip.
