Charles Darwin's Galapagos Islands

In honor of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday this year -- what did we get him? grin -- I'm posting some images I captured in the Galapagos Islands last year.

Darwin visited these islands as a young man, and was inspired by what he saw there to come up with his theory of natural selection, one of the scientific milestones in human history.

Me, I thought it was beautiful.

Paulina Rubio in Concert in NYC

Paulina Rubio in concert in New York City at Gotham Hall
I got a chance to photograph singer Paulina Rubio in concert in NYC recently. The venue was stellar -- Gotham Hall in midtown NYC is a cavernous room with surprisingly good acoustics, considering all the marble surfaces. She put on an energetic show.

I was working for Oracle Beauty Brands which recently launched a new Paulina Rubio perfume called ORO. Before the show I got to spend some time with Rubio and the dynamic businesspeople behind the ORO brand, and had a super time. It's a friendly group that's working hard to bring a fun new fragrance to market.
