Going out to photograph. How to get started.
Stroll down my street
Head to one of my favorite neighborhoods. Jackson Heights, Flushing, Soho, Times Square, Bensonhurst, Coney Island, Fordham Rd. Or find a new neighborhood, plenty to explore in NYC. Plenty to discover.
Stop short on my journey. Could be a photograph. Give it a try. Cover it from many angles, up, down, zoom in, zoom out, wait for someone or something to enter or exit the scene.
Always work with an open mind and an open vision. No preconceptions, no clichés, no cuties.
Ready to discover: Hidden things, ambiguous situations, events, gatherings on the street(birthday parties, street festivals, weddings, …), colors, compositions, light plays, shadows.
