Getting in/out and across the city are without a doubt difficult tasks, but perhaps the most daunting challenge while driving in Manhattan is not driving at all, but parking. Here is an image of one option.
Stealing an eight dollar camera from the supermarket that I worked for
back in High School is not my proudest moment as a teenager, however,
it is the event that launched me into a lifelong obsession with
photography. That obsession led to a formal education in photography to follow with many years of professional work in and around the New York City photo industry.
That first camera was a Chinon 110 film cartridge style. From there I
bought (yes, I said bought) my first 35mm Nikon, after that I dabbled
in medium format and then eventually purchased a 4x5 view camera.
While transitioning into the digital era I continue to use Nikon for 35mm,
but I am also experimenting with the camera in my iPhone, which actually
gives me the same spontaneity, but slightly better quality as the
eight dollar 110 camera I had in High School. Aside from the spontaneity, the many applications allow for an endless variety of creative options.
My images are mostly about where we live and work - our architectural
environment and our commute to and from these places.
