As image makers, we aren’t perfect. The road we take is riddled with failures. Failed attempts, failed locations, failed light. Here is one of them. Have a listen: This is the updated episode below. The new post can be found here. TW

New York City has some of the most unique light I have ever experienced in my travels. At times it feels like it’s been arranged perfectly for us Street & Social Documentary photographers. Combined with the density of the city and it’s endless supply of people. It’s hard not to stumble upon something interesting to photograph. Have a listen and feel free to comment. TW
There he goes in his white coat. Wandering calmly down the street. Note in hand. What’s in the note? Address? Letter? Directions? Only he knows…
I don’t know if it’s a trend to write about “the best lens…” right now, but for some reason my RSS feed is filled with them. There’s no such thing as the best lens for street photography, or any photography for that matter. There “IS” such a thing as the best lens for “YOU“.

Whenever I shot it at 200ASA I’ve found that the images tended to sway too much into the yellow/red and even after post processing, I was never really happy with the palette it …
“PURPLE!! HEY PURPLE, WHERE YA GOIN GIRL!!” “DAMN GIRL COME BACK!” When I was walking up Broadway Avenue this woman blasted past me. A woman on a mission. Just as she rips through the intersection a group of guys start calling out to her. Begging her to come back and asking her where she’s going. You gotta love how much “life” is on the streets of New York. It never gets old. In regards to the images, I think I …
Alright. I think I need to re-name the Assignment A Week project. I’ve tried my hardest to produce one project a week, but due to my crazy schedule I honestly can’t achieve it. I’m still going to continue producing assignments for myself, they’re just gonna be trickling out at a slower pace due to my schedule. If I get spurts of time, I’ll produce more. I was really hoping this would work out, but unfortunately my day job takes priority …
