His photographs focus on cultural events and the spaces and lives of people in Mexico and San Antonio; but has traveled to many places around the world looking and capturing the images describing the most vulnerable and history defining moments in time. This exhibit is part of the annual FOTOSEPTIEMBRE Photography Festival.
