Take a walking tour of little haiti and little havanna. So many colours, textures, and interesting people.

I heard about both of those places, SR, the only concern is I also heard that they could be trouble areas too? Is that right?

As for King Kong..well obviously.

Not much to shoot really. I was just there. Mainly people lounging on the beaches. I found LA more interesting to shoot. Personally, I've found those funny pink birds with crooked noses more interesting than chicas in bikinis. And, BTW, the birds' boyfriend wont break yer camera if u shoot it.

Little Havana not so bad, as for little Haiti I would suggest soft body armor and a 12 gauge shotgun with as many rounds as you can carry.

You will really not want to miss South Beach day or nighttime, being as it is getting cooler Fairchild Tropical Gardens is a wonderful location to shoot at, do check their schedule though. http://www.fairchildgarden.org/

I will dig up a few more and post later.

South Beach area buildings. Lots of art deco and details, neon signs at dusk. I had more fun just walking around with a wide zoom pointed up at all the details.
