Lincoln Road



A great night out was spent on Lincoln Road.  Humming with the crowds of interesting people, sidewalk cafes packed with friends, and the pleasureful mix of scents, sights and sounds,  A must see for people watchers.

Rico Suave


Walking Bayside, and in the middle of the afternoon, a salsa band was in full force.  A crowd had gathered in front of the stage and lines of energetic dancers had formed.  Off to the side was this dapper looking gentleman - dressed to the nines, and bringing it.  Eyes closed, moving to the beat, he was enjoying every minute of it.  Oh the joy of dance.

Beach Patrol


Sitting in a pimped out golf cart, this gent was keeping a close eye on the holiday crowds, maintaining the peace.  While the contrast was enough to grab our attention, the ink, icy glare and gold filled smile was enough of a reminder to keep our cool.  Respect.

Table is Set


The sidewalk patios prepared for the 4th of July dinner celebrations.  White linens, the setting sun, and hungry South Beach worshipers were the right ingredients for the evening's birthday festivities.

Divine


Along Ocean Drive, there was a giant clock and calendar, which provided tourists the photo opp to mark their visit to South Beach on the 4th of July.  Next to the clock was this gent, sliding himself into frame after frame, hitting his sharpest poses.  It was no surprise when pointing to my camera, that he obliged with his best photo shoot moves and smile.  It didn't hurt that my brother was behind me doing his best "love the camera" routine.

Mr. Miami - In Action


South Miami has its version of a "muscle beach".  Groups of lads workout under the summer sun: push ups, pull ups, curling logs.  Not surprisingly, this guy was a stand out.  His unique cross training regime of body weight strength training, acrobatics, pole dancing (yes) and quite an impressive fitness level had the onlookers mesmerized.  Just couldn't help but say "dang".

La Vita Bella



Grabbing a bite at the News Cafe, we had the pleasure of witnessing a master at work.  This waiter, anticipating the Hari Krishna parade marching down the sidewalk, made his way to the front of their line, and led the parade through the outdoor patio, ending with a Krishna "high five".  His positive vibe was appreciated by all.

Chillin'


Spending some time on Ocean Dr. in South Beach on the 4th of July, and the cast of characters did not disappoint.  This gent, with his two amigos, was the coolest thing on this hot day.  Chilling on his custom HD, he confidently gives the nod to go ahead and capture this moment.

Getting the shot ...

One Man Band



Walking along Bayside, we came across the One Man Band.  A performer from NYC, this seasoned entertainer's smile emitted his love of music, which was further accentuated in a charming and flirtatious rendition of Happy Birthday to the beautiful Stephanie.
