Phagwah

Phagwah is the Guyanese and Trinidadian version of the Hindu festival Holi that takes place deep in Queens. It’s a celebration of spring that involves dousing one another in colored powders. I missed the initial chaos but caught some beautiful aftermath.

Incubation

Gladys is nine months pregnant. This will be Jay’s fifth child but first with Gladys. They want to name him Jaydys — a combination of their names.

I wish I could share more. But like Jaydys, all my recent photos are in the incubation process. There’s a lot of work in progress.
