New York, New York

I constantly keep my eyes out for quiet, everyday moments that are easy to miss but full of feeling. Living in the East Village for thirty years  has shaped how I see the city. When taking photos, I move like a quiet cat—walking, waiting, watching, and listening. Sometimes I’ll stay in one spot for a long time and let the scene unfold on its own. Over time, this way of working has become a kind of visual meditation for me. Whether it’s a girl dancing in an empty Chinatown lot, a couple chatting on top of a newspaper box, fans chasing a music celebrity, or a basketball game under a dramatic sky, I try to capture moments that feel spontaneous, honest, and real.
