Superheroes in Real Life
Mexican-born photographer Dulce Pinzón has spent much of her career dealing with issues related to the duality of Mexican immigrants trying to find their way in the US. Her Superhero project shows Mexican immigrants who toil away in regular jobs, normally unnoticed, but dressed as American and Mexican superheros for the photos. For many of them their real superpower is to provide money for their family back home, each caption includes the amount each sends home each month.

Icy Reflection
It has been pretty cold recently, going down to near single digits overnight. This is the stream that normally runs behind my house, and it is partially frozen.
New Hope Waterfowl Waterway
Yesterday I went to the Durham side of the New Hope Waterfowl Waterway. These are areas that were created to maintain bird habitats by adjusting water flood levels. When I got there the sky was pretty overcast, but the clouds moved out as I was shooting, so I got some great blue skies. I also got some great reflections.

Merry Christmas from Durham
This morning I helped serve breakfast at the Urban Ministries Community Kitchen in downtown Durham. Christmas morning seemed like a good time to think of others and help out. Afterwards I took some pictures around downtown Durham. Here’s a link to the rest of the photos on Flickr.

Foggy Mornings
For the past few days the mornings have been very foggy. Here’s a view of the woods behind my house as the sun is trying to fight its way through the fog.
