The first of my mini-series: Dinner at Beana's. I started taking pictures only after we'd eaten several incredible meals. We would get up around 10 or 11am, eat breakfast at noon, eat lunch at five or six, play music at nine, and return to find dinner s

The Roma
Here a Roma kid is eager to show off his biking skills. More commonly known as Gypsies, the Roma people prefer the latter title and consider the name "Gypsy" to be offensive. They originated from India around 1000AD and began spreading through
