The New York pictures were made a couple of years ago on the streets of that city. I enjoyed the energy and wonderful spring feeling that was in the air. It was great to be there again.
I know New York has been photographed by people like Elliott Erwitt, William Klein, Daido Moriyama, Ken Schles, and Weegee. I have seen their pictures and endless others by slews of photographers and artists.
It takes time to get rid of the images I have seen by them that are stuck in my memory. I am not interested in doing what somebody else has already done. Although I must admit that the way Daido Moriyama works inspired me to use an ND filter and to manipulate the sensitivity of the camera.
I hope to be back in New York soon to continue on these series.
