These are street shots I took on a day trip to NYC. I feel wary about the choice of doing black and white conversion, I converted one and figured why not the rest. This could definitely be looked at as trying to emulate classic street photography but I dont know.. I feel like iconic places and cities are are cliche traps for photographers, mainly just because of sheer saturation of images from these places, but, there also exists enormous amounts of photographic material. My two favorites are the girl on the escalator and the old David Carradine look-alike behind the glass. If a photograph gives you a strong  feeling of being looked at, at almost having active communication with a still image, then I think it works on some level. There are two I could give or take, the guy tieing his shoe, and the sneering military swagger guy. I wish I got the guys face who was bending over, and I wish I had just a little more sharpness and focus on swagger guy. There's one photo I took at occupy Wall-Street that's not included because it didn't feel right in the collection, but its pretty funny. It's a woman holding a starbucks coffee and taking pictures of shouting protesters with an I-Phone. Maybe a little too much of a visual political joke, but an interesting moment nonetheless.
