The Way I See the World

I haven’t been many places yet, but in the few that I have I’ve learned to love each and every one of them. In discovering and doing street photography, I’ve been provided a lens to view the world, and more so the people in it, in the most beautiful ways. Upon my recent trip to New York City I was excited to see the infamous sites; get to the top of the Empire State Building, walk the Brooklyn Bridge, and see my favorite Broadway show. But what I was most eager to do was get the chance to take as many photos as possible of the people at these places. Capture the everyday moments in one of the most happening cities in the world. Every person gives a photo the power to tell a beautiful humane story, and I am happy to share the beautiful stories I have caught a glimpse of through these photos.
