Forever my favorite moment during the #ASCAwards is the Women/NB Cinematographer group photo. Here we are last night.

Tango in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Shot on Pentax 17. Ilford 400ASA.

Bus Stop at Santiago, Chile 2026.

Grey Glacier. Patagonia. Chile. 2026.

Happy Valentine’s Day. From my favorite series “Underground”. Shot in NYC.

First Pentax 17 (Half Frame) camera scans came back with some fun unexpected diptychs. Left side: dinner party. Right: Apple mirror ceiling “selfie”.

The Angel at Grand Central Market. #DTLA. #Leica M6. Kodak Pro Image 100ASA. The joy of shooting street photography on film: How is she lit and in focus, and no one else is? I have no idea. I like to credit gremlins who live in my camera.

Yesterday was Vivian Maier's birthday. In honor of her eye, skill, influence - here is my best Vivian Maier selfie Anyone who has the bandwidth, please share yours

Here are my three favorite 35mm stills taken over the weekend, without a light meter. Shooting on Kodak Pro Image 100 ASA. One image in bright sun, one inside at Grand Central Market and one in later afternoon, people on the shady side of the street.

Blue Pupuseria at #GrandCentralMarket #DTLA. Shot on #LeicaM6 with Kodak Pro Image 100ASA. I’m forever in love with photographing subjects with neon lights. Robby Muller and his work on Wim Wender’s film #ParisTexas is to blame. #film #analogue #35mm

Lone Rider in #LeimertPark #LosAngeles Participating in the MLK Day Parade. 2026.

Starting 2026 with a new oil painting. "Time" Oil on Linen 24" x 30"

Strong Family @ the #MartinLutherKing Day Parade. I had the best day taking photos along the parade route and inside Leimert Park. I will post more and eventually create a substack of all of my images. #LosAngeles

Plenty of Time #Underground on the NYC Subway. Shot on #35mm with a #Leica.

Evening Bus. Somewhere near #GrandBaie #Mauritius. From the archives. I traveled to Mauritius in 2018 & enjoyed getting around by foot or public bus. Photo taken on my iPhone.

Elephant Family #Amboseli #Kenya. I’m still in shock that I was able to see hundreds of elephants in the wild. Shot on #SonyFX3

Not Pleased. #MelroseHill #LosAngeles Shot on Harman Phoenix II #35mm. #Leica Experimenting with an experimental stock.

The email, from a Los Angeles based film lab, began, “Good Evening Cybel, I regret to inform you that we had a machine malfunction whilst processing two of your black and white rolls. This resulted in most of the images on those rolls being burned.” Of the “burnt images” this is my favorite.

Women of Masai Mara #Kenya. Photo taken on my last day of Safari during my recent trip to Kenya. Shot on #35mm. #Leica #CineStill50

Elephant Crossing #Amboseli #Kenya. Shot on #35mm. #CineStill50. #Leica.

Vivian Maier-ing in the hotel elevator #Nairobi #Kenya

Peek-a-boo #NajiadoCounty #Kenya. Perhaps my strongest image from my time in Kenya? Certainly my favorite.

Lions at Sunset #Amboseli #Kenya. When we arrived, we immediately spotted two lions. Then four more. More vans arrived. Then on cue, all six lions got up, approached our vehicles, wove through to the other side and plunked down on the grass.

Thanks to Elephants #Amboseli #Kenya I am spending Thanksgiving week in Kenya on safari and feeling grateful AF.

Sydney Rush Hour #Australia. Shot on 35mm.

#NikkiGlaspie. What a PHENOMENAL talent. I caught Nikki and The Nth Power last night at The Mint. Just mind blowing. https://thenthpowermusic.com/biography/

“There are More of Us”.#Hollywood.#35mm Shooting street photography on film is consistently humbling. I just got three rolls of film back from processing. I always think every image is a waste the first time I review my scans. Days later suddenly some are worth sharing.

Parental Goals #Melbourne

Violinist in Red #Fitzroy #Melbourne One of those magical moments. I was rushing back to the hotel but had to pause. Was that really a woman playing violin in the window? I turned around to listen (and photograph).

Opera House #Sydney from my most recent travels.

Ice Cream is Always the Answer #Hollywood

Selfie with My Friend’s Leica #NYC. Shot on Ilford B/W #Film

Subway Street Photography is my first love.

Being able to photograph twins or friends “twinning” gave me an adrenalin rush. There were many of those opportunities in Korea. Shot on 35mm #Aerocolor #film

Breaking down the #SquidGame S3 Promotion seen in #Bangkok. Image shot on 35mm #film. The statue is almost 40 feet tall. The two men working on dismantling it can give you a sense of scale.

The Umbrellas of Luang Prabang. #Laos 2025

Tea & Dim Sum @ Lockcha Teahouse in #HongKong

Pom Back Pack #Seoul #SouthKorea. Of all the countries I’ve visited so far, S Korea has the most Poms Per Capita.

Late Night Munchies @ Linjiang Night Market #Taipei #Taiwan. Shot with my #SonyFX3

Easter Parade Warm Up #GwanghwamunSquare #Seoul #SouthKorea. Shot on my #SonyFX3

Tim’s Kitchen #Seoul #Korea. Tim Horton Donuts are the must have snack. It’s wonderful to be back.

A joyous moment from the French Quarter Festival opening parade on Bourbon Street. #NewOrleans

La Delice Bakery #NYC. Another from my “Early to Work” series of people at work in my neighborhood before sunrise. I haven’t been in years but this spot used to have the perfect apple turnover. Shot on my Minolta #35mm. #film

Cell Reception. Inside the #BlueMosque aka #SultanAhmedMosque. #Istanbul #Turkey shot on #35mm film. Taken 10 years. I had a few magical days in Turkey on my way back from a shoot in Ethiopia.

Uniform #Arashiyama #Japan Taking photos on subways, buses, trams etc is my happy place. This was taken as Japan was (carefully) coming out of the pandemic and admitting tourists.

Dog Tango #Paxos #Greece. If those boys weren’t there to hold them back, would the dogs fight? Play? In my mind I imagine an elaborate dance.

Moments in #Havana. #Cuba. Two years ago, friends and I spent Thanksgiving in Cuba. I took LOTS of photos, of course. These when we first landed. I’ll post more later from this incredible experience.

Small Wonder #CentralPark #NYC. I wonder if artists change. Hopefully evolve? I took this when I was about 16. I still compose shots the same way. The impulse behind the image is still what drives my #streetphotography. Taken with my Minolta X700. Same camera I still use now when I shoot #35mm.
