The project
New York, vivid and unmistakably human.
For more than a decade, I photographed New York as I encountered it: vivid, unguarded, strange, beautiful, and unmistakably human.
Created between 2007 and 2019, MY NYC in Color is an extensive body of street photography documenting the people, architecture, rituals, contradictions, and fleeting moments that gave the city its character.
Window Gazing
A quiet meditation on aspiration, identity, and aging.
In Window Gazing, an older man’s trench coat and briefcase echo the Brooks Brothers display behind him. For a moment, the observer seems to belong within it.
The photograph received an award and was exhibited at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center.
Finding the extraordinary in ordinary life
Walking, watching, and recognizing the instant.
The photographs were not staged or constructed. They emerged from walking, watching, and recognizing the instant when color, light, gesture, environment, and human behavior briefly formed a complete story.
Color connects people to their surroundings and gives the ordinary an emotional charge. Created before generative AI, the series is also a record of presence, patience, and human attention.
Recognition and archive
The complete collection, preserved as a dedicated digital archive.
I conceived, curated, designed, and built the archive to preserve the collection’s scale and visual character. Selections have appeared in independent photography and arts publications.

One unrepeatable moment at a time.
My long-term vision is a photography book: a physical record of New York during a period of cultural and technological change.
Photography continues to shape my design practice: observing closely, recognizing emotional truth, and finding a complete story within a single frame.
