Strangers

Street portraits taken at walking pace — people mid-thought, mid-errand, mid-life, who never broke stride.

Nobody in these photographs knew they were being remembered. That is the entire subject: the unguarded second between intentions, when a face belongs to no one — not even to its owner.

Shot at walking pace with one lens, no second frames, no chasing. If the picture wasn’t there, it wasn’t there.
