Twice a year Alex participates in a collective of doctors, nurses and volunteers known as Manos Que Ayudan (Helping Hands). The mission of this secular NGO is to bring together the expertise and resources of some of America’s best medical practitioners and to supply their services free of charge to those in Latin America who can’t afford it.

In the course of seven days, Alex will see hundreds of patients at Matagalpa’s Cesar Molina Hospital and many more while venturing into the countryside to visit those who don’t have the means to travel. During that week he will also help a nine-year-old girl take her firsts steps, provide soothing medicine to a dying young man and lay the groundwork for transporting a baby with hydrocephaly back to the states for treatment. ]]>

A sentry box set-up was used to photograph some of the many interesting characters who attended the rodeo and were also kind enough to pose for a portrait.

These are excerpts from a larger project on rodeo personalities that is still a work in progress. ]]>

From an early age I was hooked on the sights and sounds, the action and drama, the characters and pretty ladies of thoroughbred racing. For my 10th birthday I asked to have my party at Saratoga Racetrack. What sort of kid goes to the track for his birthday, I don’t know. In high school my friends and I would play hooky, sneaking off to Keeneland for some education of a different kind.

As it turns out, ditching school has served me better than the algebra I missed. Whether by fate or coincidence, I ended up covering horse racing for Sports Illustrated, making my living capturing images of the people and places I once haunted.
