I had seen this reflection many times from a neon grocery store sign on rainy nights and knew that if i had a person in the scene I’d have a compelling image. One rainy night I grabbed my gear and went out to see what i could find. Using the street as my canvas I just waited for people to walk by. I lucked out with this figure and pulled the trigger at exactly the right moment. A fleeting moment in time; here one second gone the next . . . that’s what excites me most about street photography.

This was the view from my loft on West 28th Street on a snowy winter night. For me, it’s all about the light.

Another building that caught my eye in upstate NY. Led Zeppelin had a Stairway to Heaven… is this the Doorway to Heaven?

One of my favorite photos, I shot this at a Blarney Stone bar across the street from Penn Station. I used my body to block the window reflections on the subject creating an inside/outside effect. This shot brings to my mind the line Vincent Gallo used in his film Buffalo 66: “. . . spanning time.”
