Our lives, series of impressions, pass like a film reel teasing our senses and without impressions, they say a human is unable to survive. In street photography, we find ourselves chasing these impressions and waiting patiently to freeze the moment that moves us the most. It is those frozen moments that give us the ultimate satisfaction and take us a step closer to finding ourselves.

See you in the streets!

 

fleeting moments

Our lives, series of images, of fleeting impressions, some recalled, others fading away into oblivion. In the streets, our eyes are open, seeking, willing ourselves to be courted by the ordinary, letting it metamorphose into an extraordinary moment, to hold and to keep. It is a human affair after all.

See you in the streets!

the lives of others

The way we live these days, especially in the big cities, alienates us from others around us to a degree that we may live years in an apartment without knowing the name of our next door neighbor. With street photography, I meet people every day, I ask their names, they tell me their ages, chapters of their life stories, we look each other in the eyes, we exchange smiles, and we meet at a level that goes deeper than the superficial. When you love street photography, you find yourself loving people, and this makes the world a touch warmer and more pleasant to be in.

See you in the streets!
