Portrait of a very funny, lifelong tortilleria shop owner who still uses a tortilla press that is four generations old. He makes a mean salsa verde too. #makeportraits #teampixel

Kicked off 2020 in Mexico City/Oaxaca, here's a few of my favorites

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Chicago (even though we don't have snow yet 😔)

Portraits of Clyde Ross, 96, and Jack McNamara, 81, who have dedicated their lives to fighting racist housing policies on Chicago's West Side. They met back in 1967 when Ross was a local leader in the Contract Buyers League, a collective of African Americans fighting usurious housing contracts in the North Lawndale neighborhood. Ross is one of the last remaining homeowners who purchased his home on contract, he has lived in his home, where he raised his five children, since 1958. McNamara is now a visiting scholar at Loyola teaching urban justice issues. Needless to say it was interesting to sit down with these two and learn about their experiences. #makeportraits

Quick portrait today of Loyola alum Charles Nuwagaba, who is a finalist for the Opus Prize for overseeing a primary school and vocational education in one of Kenya's largest and poorest slums. The prize awards $1 million to humanitarian efforts and service. #makeportraits
