Long Wait

Not From NYC

I spoke to this couple for quite a while. Needless to say, they are from TX. They told me to check out the work of shooter Bill Daniel. I did. Great stuff.

I could schedule shoots at my studio and just shoot the BTS (behind the scenes) and I’d be totally content.

Some Dude With a Canon

I met this gentleman while I was shooting at the West 23rd Street subway station. He was taking pictures of the public phone. I asked him why, and he said he liked the symmetry of the train tracks alongside the phone. I saw what he was talking about and I took pretty much the same photo he had taken. It wasn’t a shot I cared about. I then asked him if I could take his picture. The result was a photo I cared about.

West 23rd Street

Street Photography is mental torture for me. I’m good at it and I consistently get good results when I hit the city with my Leica. However, it’s a nerve wracking process for me to actually go out on the street. Once I’m there I can get in the zone pretty quickly. So for me, the real task is to show up. But its sort of like swimming. The idea of going down to the beach and getting all wet and sandy isn’t appealing. But once you’re there you’re probably having fun.
