I love black and white photography and film. I was born colorblind because of a deficiency in the womb but gained the ability to see color years later. Still, I prefer to only see black and white and wish I could return.
Most of my work is highly orchestrated, but once in awhile, I need to get out and feel the street, breathe the chance of random images that you might see.
I took the DART train rail and just decided to see where I would end up. Found myself in the West End, then walking the streets to the Rosa Park Plaza. It's a bit of a rough area: one guy threatening to kill me for trying to take his photo and another asking "What the f*** is a white boy with a camera doing here?" Others telling me to leave because it wasn't "my place." All in the span of a couple of hours. But I loved it all. Homeless to executives and everything in between. You can feel the intensity of the people around you.

I love keeping my camera low and taking a chance, only to see later what I found.

He was so sick. Kept coughing and moaning on the train ride back.

This guy asked me if I was out here taking "pictures of asses" after I took this shot.

He never moved. Trains came by and not once did he get up.

He had a great afternoon dancing and hustling women for money.

He jumped in front of my shot, but I'm glad.

This kind man said I could take his picture, but he was afraid he'd break the camera because he was so ugly.
