Come follow my inquisitive eye as I continue to follow my photographic muse. Photographing since 1980, my camera has taken me to Africa, Southeast Asia, India, Mexico, etc. I search out the off beat, the unusual, and sometimes the private moments. Urban street photography, nature, florals, portraits in natural settings, -the humorous, the contrasting- all capture my imagination and curiosity and draw me and my camera in. I am based in Chicago but always ready to travel. Lopez specializes in Street People photography
