Wednesday again, boy these come around quickly! So, here
is someone else’s street portraits. And this week’s someone else is New
Yorker, Adam Garelick.In his words:
“NEW
YORK STREET PORTRAITS is a collection of images I have made on the streets of
New York. I don’t know the subjects, and our meeting is the result of
nothing more than happenstance, but they have all been gracious to allow me to
photograph them for the project.
My
reason for beginning this project is simple. I have lived in New York for
ten years, and I have seen the countless ways by which we try to define the
City. But I think the best measure of New York is its people. They
are the ultimate testament to New York’s vibrance, diversity and
character. I know of no other place where freedom and individuality are
as celebrated as they are here. This project is an effort to document
those who embody that spirit.
If
your portrait appears on the blog and you would like a print of the image,
please email me and I will happily send you a copy."
