I notice he was invalidate look straight into the camera after i took a couple of shots , so i ask him to look direct at me , and take this shot when he did .

A lazy Sunday good afternoon , gorgeous atmospheric condition , and the lovely Frank Sinatra park in Hoboken , NJ made this photograph a reality . Me and a few friends were just chilling at the ballpark under the sunshine after a heavy luncheon when I spotted Megan lie down next to her wheel and decide to go ahead and introduce myself . She had been wheel around for most of the Clarence Day , unable to refuse the adorable weather and had been taking a well deserved break . She was a great conversationist so it was a pleasure to get to talk to her a bit as I took the pictures .

Almost all of the restoration work done on the locomotives and motorcar is done by retired guys doing it on their free time . I was in a back expanse and ask one of the honest-to-goodness guy rope to fend in front of one of the freight rate machine that was in pretty scratchy shape . “ What ’s this for ? ” he asked . “ Posterity . ” I replied .

After a nice Easter Sunday family gathering , my girlfriend and I determine to take a walk in a nearby forest preserves . We hiked to a humble waterfall and after being there for about half an hr , a couple walked up . They were not the couplet I would have conceive to see hiking through the suburbia , but I knew instantly I want scud their portraits . My lady friend had to do a niggling convincing for me to really near them , but I did it . To be honest , I never even caught there names . I plainly go about them and ask if I could take their portrayal . That ’s why I love these challenges … It makes you remember outside the box and fuck off you out of your comfort zone .

I was lately on vacation in Amsterdam NL , and was attempt to find out a friends theater , in a orbit no holidaymaker would ever have rationality to range . What I found in that neighborhood was generations of sept model on the steps , eating , babble out , kid play in roach in the street laughing . I just control a family sitting on their street , snarl a few shots , and keep on my way to my friends sign of the zodiac . The laughter of water soaked nestling occupy the street behind me , I continued to be half lost , looking for a home in a country and moment .

Some were eager to participate and others were hesitating . This Gentleman gibe to let me photograph him for $ 2 and a all-day sucker . From what i could gather he was working at the green in Union Square . He had all of his clothes with him in a traveling bag , which he even involve me to keep an heart on at one power point , and I could only assume he was dispossessed . He swing fake punches , and got up close and personal for his “ minute of fame ” in front of my camera , intelligibly march his tough guy role .

On my recent unplanned visit to Kashmir , I head to Pahalgam after spend 5 days at Srinagar . The garden at the housing that I was concern was being tended by this gardener who verbalize about his connection with nature being higher than his impression in the almighty . He ’s been working at the same place for the last 40 eld and know every inch of the Earth’s surface that he tended to . I asked him if I could take a mental picture of him , to which he happily agreed upon . The delight in his eyes are proof to the fact that our eventual relation to the earth and the joy in sow a source and watching it grow to flower into something even bigger than you is what being at heartsease is all about . His line expose an figure of speech of a content man and not that of a distressed mind , further proving that if a gardener , clear a stingy meat of money can be so mental object , then this commercialised world has a reprieve after all .
