I've been photographing things ever since I was about 9 years old, with my first camera, which was a KodaK Brownie. Time with the family, at picnics, on vacations, during birthdays, with camera in hand, made me an observer. Over the years photography became less about capturing moments in my life, and more about documenting life happening around me. It's about finding those ordinary moments that provide a glimpse of who we are or how we go about living our lives. Moments in street photography just happen, they can't be contrived, or prepared. Unlike portraiture or commercial photography, street photographers are walking around in the world, without an agenda, waiting for that special moment, and 99% of the time you miss it! That's what makes street photography most difficult, it's about catching those unrehearsed moments that have meaning or tell a story.
