Whether shooting in the #rain #snow #darkness or #light as he put it “I tend to be more attracted to the average person on the street. I love pictures that are a little gritty, ones where not everything has to be perfect. I would rather convey the #emotion I feel when I am taking the pictures and hope that the viewer can see and feel the same. Dream projects? I have to say I am living it! New York City is a constant hive of #energy and #activity and it keeps me driven to shoot everyday, be it seeing someone walking around in a spacesuit in #Soho or snow storms on the #EastRiver.
