I’m so excited to share this book. I’ve been honing the art of telling photographic stories for years, creating personal documentaries of subjects I care about. As I travelled the NYC subway to work, to meet friends, and to see live entertainment, I decided to observe fellow riders closely instead of following the usual practice of avoiding eye contact. I snapped a few discreet shots here and there, then I saw some images that stuck me. I realized I had to tell a compelling story about the people in the subway, the only way I knew how? – with my Nikon camera.
Once I started, it became a mission, lasting over ten years and countless hours on the NYC subway. After taking thousands of negatives, the book presents 74 images which highlight my observations in the subway cars and stations.
My photographs are the visual representation of my love affair with NYC that will touch New Yorkers, visitors to the Big Apple and people who never stepped through a turnstile. Traveling the world is my passion, but NYC will always be home and I’m overjoyed that I get to present this incredible city and its distinct underground through my lens.
