A professional photographer friend of mine whom has given me some sage advice, recently told me that the life of a photographer, in this day and age of everyone who owns a phone also has a camera, is just well tough. And of course, no one buys! photos anymore, …well some folks still do thankfully, very thankfully.
The key I am finding as an amaturer...maybe pro someday… and one my friend relayed to me is the need to ‘diversify and find your niche’.

I am still searching for that niche and working hard at diversifying my craft. So, I kinda of plunged in recently on one diverse project and created a short book of photos of interesting bikes and street scenes from a recent trip to New York city.

Here is a selection of some of my favorites but all are in black and white. I find 'street scenes' can tell a better story for the viewer using just the stark contrasts and let you see deeper into the scene. And frankly looking at the color versions of some of the Times Square photos and a quaint second-hand store we came across can be a bit overwhelming, you just see the colors, not the scene. If you want to see some color versions send me a note.
Thanks again and enjoy, ' New York City Street Scenes'.
