Street Photography is the art of being able to capture unplanned interesting moments in time as they occur spontaneously in public spaces. In my opinion, the subject, composition, light and the story I'm trying to tell is way more important than image quality. Using techniques I'v gathered over the last 30 years, a small camera and wide-angle lens enables me to get nice and close to my subjects. The advantage of the wide angle gives the viewer a sense of being there in the moment. When I hit the streets I have no preconceptions, the process is based on seeing and reacting.

I was born somewhere, and then grew up. Along the way I went to art school in the late 80’s. After my degree I packed up my camera, two lens, a handful of film and hit the road. I spent 12 years traveling America through all 50 states. On this side of the pond my two favorite backdrops for street photography are New Orleans and New York City.

Street photography is like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands.
