Did the people he photographed in the Dominican Republic know who he was?
"Sometimes someone would come up to me and say, 'You're the guy from Sex and the City.' "
Did he ever join in doing the merengue during a photo shoot?
"A couple of times. I can do a little merengue, It's graceful, but it's difficult to dance. To dance it, you have to seriously study the movements. I try to get a partner who knows what she's doing, and I try to follow."
How about the tango?
"I can't dance the tango to save my life," he says.
