That's me - right there, hovering between observation and intrusion, capturing life the way it unfolds before my eyes.

And the streets of New York are such a fertile ground for that, the faces, the attitude, the situations, they are all there to be caught. Sometimes I think this is what hunting must feel like, the exhilaration of noticing, waiting, aiming, and successfully seizing.

These pictures are what I see. People often ask me why I shoot in black and white. Mostly because I am used to it, grew up with black and white photography and television. And because I find them less distracting. And most of all, because I want to.
