I’m a Street Photographer. Most of my photographs originate there, in the random chaos of the street, in the ambient weirdness of everyday life.

I expose some film nearly every day, and always carry a camera: anything could occur. It keeps me alert and awake to the world around me, even while simply on my way somewhere on an unrelated errand. These images are my personal visual diary: they are not staged or created artificially. Reality is quite strange enough.

I’ve always been more drawn to black and white. I like the level of abstraction it brings: the distilled monochromatic essence of a frame without the distraction of color. ‘In black and white you look at the faces; in color you look at the clothes.’

However, when I began seriously making photographs, they were in color. Shooting digitally in color for commercial work has returned me to color street photography as well. Where this goes in the long run, I do not know. For now, I shoot both.”
