“That’s what it feels like when you touch me. Like millions of tiny universes being born and then dying in the space between your finger and my skin. Sometimes I forget.” ― Iain Thomas #love #engagementphotographertampa #engagementphotos #engagement #tampa #weddingphotography #wedding #weddingseason #photo #photoshoot #photographer #photography #studiofourphotography #tampaphotographer #sarasotawedding #couple #tattoocouple #weddingphotographer #horatiofranco (at Bradenton-Sarasota, FL)

Happy [belated] International Photography Day! This is one of my favorite portraits, taken while street shooting in New Orleans. He was standing outside his shop and stopped me to talk. It was one of the most fascinating conversations I ever had, he truly wanted to know who I was, it felt as if those eyes could look straight into my soul. He told me about his journey from Syria with a young pregnant wife decades ago and lived pretty much as a nomad for 30 years around America. Before I left, he grabbed my face, kissed me on the forehead and said "shalom lekha" (peace be with you in Yiddish), as he lightly slapped my cheek. His name was Shlomo. I'll never forget him. #streetphotography #street #photooftheday #streetphoto #streetphotographer #streetphotography_color #streetportrait #streetshot #people #rabbi #shalom #jewish #neworleans #nola #nikon50mmf/1.4

It's been 20 months since my heart surgery. Today I had a really hard stress test and passed it with flying colors, hitting all 7 out of 7 points in no time and finishing strong (it was a bitch to get there, but I did it!). The nurses kept asking me if I was close to feeling like I was at my limit and I kept telling them to "bring it"! I am officially done with tests and recovery and don't even have an appointment to see my cardiologist again. It's been the hardest experience of my life and I am happy to not only have survived it, but to be doing so well after almost kicking the bucket. I will be forever grateful for the incredible love, support and concern my incredible friends and family showed from al over the world. Love you tons! :)

Typical Sunday at home, culling images from yesterday's wedding with my "little" helper (he believes he's a lapdog!) (at River Wilderness Golf & Country Club)

I love receiving unexpected reviews from happy brides. Thank you Andrea and Bo! :) @hobbbbs #weddingphotography #happybride #weddingphotographyreviews #horatiofranco #studiofourphotography #bradentonweddingphotographer #sarasotaphotographer #bridereview
