Location: New York City. Subject: architecture, cars, street photography, people. Landing in New York City recently, I had high hopes for my photography. As one of the most dynamic cities in the world with incredible architecture and people, I smugly thought to myself, how hard can it be? As Moltke the Elder once said, “no [...]

Photographers and artists are in the business of engineering. For the most part, our goal is to represent “whole” things in ways that people know them. Whether it be faces, smiles, or landscapes, our audience expects something ultimately recognizable. Something large and complete.
