He’s a nomad and a rambler who can never stay still. She finds the beauty in places that we just walk by every day. The street photographer is a rare breed who works under harsh conditions to show us just how monumental the insignificant can be.

I tell my students when it comes to street photography there aren’t a lot of rules and not much that you can teach. This kind of work is the culmination of everything you learn about photography. More than that street photography is incredibly instructive. It teaches you patience; it teaches you how to see the world with new eyes.

How do you capture a street you walk down every day? More importantly how do you make it interesting, not only to yourself but to someone who’s never walked down that street? These are but a few of the challenges the street photographer faces.

So how do you do it? What is the secret? The answer is there isn’t one. Every photographer has to discover how to negotiate the street for themselves…

Supplies are limited (duh) so send me a message with your mailing address and you too can be part of the magic, not to mention own a Damaso Reyes original!

This exhibition is open to traditional and non-traditional systems of belief and also seek those beliefs that challenge the notion of God and religion.”
