Thank you to Linda Tomassulo for the great cover photo.

BTW, If you know me then you know what you hear @seanpenn say as a character in “The Secret life of Walter Mitty” movie
is truly something I’d never say 😁 ...

#photolessons When it comes to that frame don’t forget YOU are the master of this domain. Your vision, your frames, your interpretation. @sarasuarezv22 ...

#photolessonsbyessdras Halloween, festivals, and other celebrations are great venues for interesting pictures. Try for a variety of shots including wide angle all-encompassing shots to telephoto close-up shots. ...

#photolessonsbyessdras As photographers, we should pay close attention to the human face and its gestures.
.
NOTE: The subjects in these photos are all Cubans. Most photographers go to Cuba to see and photograph the American classic cars, the pastel- colored buildings, the Art Deco architecture and so much more. .
.
But in the end, we keep going back for its people. .
.
We are heading back there in Nov., my 45th trip to the island. If Cuba is in your bucket list, DM me for more info. on future trips. ...

#photolessonsbyessdras Pay attention to clusters of people and identify the interesting characters.

All photos were shot in #NYC. .
.
Heading back there to lead a “NY, a Winter Wonderland” # workshop in early Dec. .
DM me if interested. ...
