Everyday Encounters

I believe in an art based on everyday experience. I have always found the streets of New York to be interesting and inspiring, an amalgam of people, color, surface, and movement. In 2011, I started using an iPhone when photographing the city, which introduced an element of improvisation into the work. These photos are a result of a process of discovery, and are about the experience of walking the streets and moving through humanity. It is impossible to capture New York completely, but I want these photos to reflect a city of diverse cultures, an environment that is constantly in flux, and a New York that is beautiful and always fascinating.
