On the prowl


I try and avoid taking photos of photographers, just like I try and avoid photographing people talking on cellphones, since it feels a bit too easy and cliched. But when I saw this fellow-photographer crouching at a street corner in Soho waiting for a subject to come by, I decided to make an exception. He noticed me at just the right moment.

Indoor portrait


Lately I've been trying a different mode of portrait photography, photographing slightly more formal photos of people I know. Here's one I took in natural window light that I think works particularly well.

Blue watch


I saw this guy sitting on a fence at Union Square and watching the crowd, but he got down off the fence and just started leaning against it before I could snap a photo. I went up to him and asked if he could sit on it again the same way as before, but he said "how was I sitting?". But he let me take his portrait anyway.
