• What’s the story behind the photo below?Ever since I’ve been shooting, NYC has always been a focal point of my life and work and inspiration. I am intrigued by spatial relations, and communications. I feel that the subway is an amazing social experiment everyday, how people react to each other in close quarters. It is somewhat difficult to capture that straight on, the true essence of that. So I started shooting people in the reflections of subway walls, it has added an amazing dreamlike feel, which is right on for the subway. Everyone zones out, only time off the “GRID” That is that.. its an ongoing series.
