Whenever I am asked to put my photography into a certain category, I always respond the same way: "My photos are always exactly how I see the world." I see New York City mostly in black and white. The monochrome is not meant to portray dreariness or melancholy. It's a homage to a time past, which was simpler and, in my opinion, more honest.

On occasion, I simply snap photos with my phone as I walk the streets, take the subway, or even drive back to Long Island. It's my hope to capture and share the glorious city exactly as I see it. There really is no common thread to these photos, unlike my previous columns, except that they are black and white, random, and New York City through my eyes lens.
