...on my site you will find a few portfolios of work, "New Yorkers" and "Street Scenes" are the major ones. They will probably eventually be combined into one body of work, but for now they stand apart. The New Yorkers series I've been working on for quite a few years though it is sort of a never ending project. Trying to capture the interesting people I see on the street, the real characters or people you might think of when you picture a "New Yorker". They're all Leica shots, mostly m6 with 35mm summicron. They remind me of a vision and feeling of the city that I have from my childhood here. I always try and not capture anything (if possible) that might give away the exact time period of the photograph, I really like this timeless feel in photographs - where you can't tell if they were taken yesterday or 50 years ago. I think it allows you to focus more on certain, more interesting details that may be in the photograph. Especially since I feel that the city nowadays is in an aesthetic slump that it will never recover from. In the Street Scenes section there is a set of photographs which shows some other interesting moments I've captured, mostly in New York, but also in some other cities around the world.
I also have a "photoblog", which is updated more frequently at http://www.thegreatbookshavebeenwritten.com - there are lots of other photos there as well.
Thanks,
Danny
