I am a practicing attorney and photographer.
I learned photography from my father. He took the photograph to the right when I was young. Photography was one of his first jobs when he and the rest of the family arrived in the United States during the Cold War, fleeing communism and starting life again in freedom in the world's greatest nation. I inherited the camera and the instinct.
For years, I kept the work mostly private. A few years ago, with the help of my family, we decided to change that.
My photographs are made in cemeteries, on sidewalks, in churches, along railroads, and wherever I happen to find myself with a camera. I am drawn to people at the margins and to places that the world has stopped looking at. I process as little as possible. I explain even less.
The work includes the Free Enterprise, Faith Journeys, Memento Mori collections, the Don't Look Away series (unpublished), and several ongoing bodies of work published through the Poblete Dispatches and available exclusively to Inner Lens subscribers.
My legal and policy work can be found at the Global Liberty Alliance and Poblete Tamargo LLP. A recent profile appeared in Canvas Rebel Magazine.
