Filthy Fucking Metal.

I tried my hand in concert photography last year and shot it like I was doing #streetphotography.

I want to go back to #NYC. It's a street photographer's playground. This woman was #dancing by herself in the street, just living her best life.

The negatives look solid. Good luck. Medium format is different but satisfying.

I'm a little proud of this one. This was not a happy accident. I saw the scene and positioned myself to get the shot.

A black and white photograph of a man holding a sign that says "Seek ye the lord while he may be found". He is holding it with one hand and is talking on the phone on the other. There is a cop car in the background with two cops leaning against it, a woman cop looking the other cop that is a older man, he is looking into the camera.

A photograph of a bus driver through the window of the bus. You can only see half his face and arm on the wheel. There are fall leaves hanging on the mirror.

I didn't talk to this man, but I wish I did. I wasn't cool enough.

Thank you! I always liked the fact that the arrows are facing the opposite way from where they are walking, but I never realized that the arrows are diverging. Great take!

Thank you so much! That's one hell of a compliment. I'm a huge fan of Saul Leiter. He was a master of his craft.

Out the window of a hotel in Cincinnati from 2018. This is a photo that I've grown to love the older I get. The arrows have some sort of artsy significance, I just can't think of it. Any ideas?

I took a photo of a guy taking a photo. This guy was awesome by the way. We talked photography every time we passed each other at that festival. I love meeting passionate photographers in the wild.

That's great that you have time to find that style now. I know when I retire, photography will be what keeps me going. I got a few years before that happens though.
