My random life, infront of the lens.

Collecting.....

Random cart full of cans... This is probably how this person will pay for food, or shelter. They more than likely put in longer hours, and work harder then most will, just for cans. Cans make this person who they are, and what they are to become. Something as simple as an aluminum container, drives this person to pay rent, buy subway tokens, and feed their family.

Just think, you wouldn't look twice or notice this on your daily commute to wherever you may be going. These are the common struggles that the "average" person doesn't see. I say pay attention and look harder at your every day. You will be amazed at the things you are blind to. 

Look at me...

This is one of my favorite photos from my trip. This man had no idea I was going to take this image, it appears that he is angry, staring me down, and has a look of disgust on his face as if taking his image is the absolute most invasion of privacy. When in fact he is just working. The man looked my way by chance. I was in China town and there was an argument going on behind me. One man yelled "LOOK AT ME" I already had this man framed up, shooting from my hip (literally) and took the photo as he glared at the man behind me. The man in this image didn't even see me, he looked through me as if i was not there. "An image is worth 1000 words." This is a very true statement, the trick is knowing what words are real.......

A beautiful lie....

I'm Terrible...

Well it appears that I have been ignoring my website/blog for quite some time now. Unfortunately I have been extremely busy lately, and it has not been in the photo side of things. Over the next few days the plan is to post a few of my favorite photos from my recent trip to Philadelphia. 

Here is the first. 

Path to the city...
