Fearless youth with photographer Justina Villanueva

I am guessing music is what keeps Justina alive. You can tell by her photographs. They capture the energy of youth and the bonds created in the crowd among strangers when willingly crammed shoulder to shoulder in the front row. Currently residing in Falls Church and...

BFD 2010 :: Street Portraits (Best Friends Day Edition)

At base level, the images are of naked friends diving, holding, crawling, swimming in a maze of tunnels with primary colors lighting the way. Delving deeper, a visual...

Photographer Barry Underwood
