Urban Life

So it's been some time since I last posted, work definitely got the best of me. So after yet another weekend spent working, I've decided to dip back into the mode of getting some writing done every night. Hopefully this will put me back on track. I decided to go a bit light with my first post back and brows through some of my street photography. One of the perks of city living is never feeling like you're alone. Well, that's actually both a perk and a curse, but today I'm focusing on the positive side of the coin.

Street photography has long been a passion of mine. I chalk it up to my some-what voyeuristic nature. The following pictures are from my wanderings in New York City. I've segmented them by location.

First picture sold!

I'm incredibly excited! Late last year, I decided to start sharing some photos I took. I have to say that I can see the awesome progress that I make and I find myself growing prouder and more confident with each photo. So, to feed this new obsession I started and Eyeem page and a few others. Well it turns out that I was able to submit some of my photos to the Getty stock images site and after months of no activity I received an email message saying that I had sold a picture! Although it wasn't for a large sum I was extremely happy that someone (other than myself) thought the picture was awesome. Here it is! It's part of a series that I call "The Human Condition". Here are some of my favorites from the collection. Oh! and in case you're wondering picture #3 is the one I've sold.
