When the streets talk, it's best to listen.

Exploring the serendipitous nature happening on the city streets and in the neighborhoods. Everything is happening everywhere all at once. It's not just the title of a movie, just happens to be true about humanity moving through its lifecycle. When interesting, or intriguing moments develop, I am inclined to reference them through photographs. Bringing viewers into a unique set of circumstances that existed for only a moment. These moments will not happen anywhere else at any time in the future. If the exact circumstances were to happen in the same way with the same people at the same space at a future time, it's highly unlikely you'd be there to see it. Realizing this type of uniqueness, is an endless journey of discovery and enlightenment.
