Tattered

Tattered Face and Tattered Hoops were shot on 5th Avenue in the lower 30’s on a temporary construction wall covered with peeling posters. I love the collage-like effect and the faces that seem to seep out of the wall in fragments.

Blue Chairs

‘Blue Chairs’ was shot in Times Square on a rainy afternoon. I was struck by the empty chairs just sitting in the middle of the street and everything seems to have a glow.
aCurator Magazine Features Women of 5th Avenue
From 'Women of 5th Ave' © Leland Bobbé
Newly-launched aCurator magazine featured my series of women ‘of a certain age’ photographed on upper 5th Avenue in Manhattan, in the first issue. The series looks great in the full screen format and apparently the readers loved it; London’s glossy magazine The Big Issue, a publication distributed by and for the homeless, featured my series in their review of aCurator.
