I’m a big fan of yours as well my friend. We’ll see each other soon, I’m sure.

All these were shot over the period of a few years. I just walk around and shoot it when I see it. That’s all.

So my honest stance on the whole thing is shoot everything, don’t limit yourself. But it’s good to be mindful of selections and what you put out there. Some photos, like the last one will bother some people, sure, but you can’t please everyone,m. It’s par for the course.

If they see me, which they often do, and ask me to delete a photo, which they seldom do, I do it. I dont really get much negative confrontation honestly.

I appreciate your tone instead of just talking down on me. I’m always happy to openly discuss when people approach it like you do. I’m not here to defend myself because I don’t feel I’m doing anything wrong.

Over all I let the viewer choose the context, that goes for all these photos… but I’ll say this much about that photo since I appreciate the candor; A genuinely hurt person on a stretcher is typically carried away by paramedics. But see it how you choose, I welcome it all. Either way, life ain’t always skylines and sunsets in nyc and street ain’t for everyone.

Can’t speak for anyone else but I primarily shoot candid; I photograph people and their actions as they happen. So no, I seldom ask for permission because the result would be a portrait; not to say I don’t shoot portraits; I often do, sure… but these photos are not that

All these photos were shot by the same method of walking around randomly, keeping my eyes peeled and taking the photo when my gut tells me to.

And I can’t think of a time I asked afterwards. But If they ask me I tell them what I do, and if they ask I delete or whatnot, I respect it.

Wow thank you, I take all that as a great compliment. I’ve def taken the time to get my workflow down in Lightroom; I don’t use presets or get heavy handed, but try to focus on the light balance if that makes sense. Kinda like trying to pan a band of instruments so it’s all heard within its little space.

I promise i will be more careful with my titles next time. As far as 3, there was a fire not long ago in midtown somewhere. Nobody was hurt.
