New York - My Perspective

"Each man reads his own meaning into New York" - Meyer Berger

A project I began in September of 2012, that is an ongoing process, is a collection of images from a film camera; a 35mm Konica Autoreflex TC and an iPhone 6. All images are from the Tri-State area and are my visions of what makes New York, truly New York.

Figure Skating in Harlem

"Figure Skating in Harlem (FSH) is a pioneering not-for-profit organization that provides girls ages 6-18 with vital educational and skating opportunities that build self-worth and promote physical well being and academic achievement. Our on and off-ice classes teach perseverance, responsibility, teamwork and leadership in a safe and positive environment."

Having the opportunity to be one of their figure skating coaches, their Assistant Skating Director and mentor, I have also documented my five years with them through the lens of my camera. During that time I have had the privilege of getting to know the young girls and catch some of the moments we have shared together, both on and off the ice.
