Street photography possesses a wonderful energy. Passersby and their self-made worlds create dynamic relationships that are continuously changing before and after I have captured a part of this on film. How I photograph these scenes reflects who I am, where I have been, and where I am headed. I love being a photographer.“ Website: http://www.newyorkstreetphotography.com |
