For as long as I have remembered, I've always noticed things. It's almost a curse, noticing things out of place or people sticking out. Starting in high school I started getting interested in using photo cameras and began photographing things and people around me that I noticed. My inspirations came from street photographers like Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, Bruce Davidson, Eugene Atget, Wee Gee, and street artists like Basquiat. If you look at my website, I have street photos and a series called estate sales : 35mm NYC street photography 35mm Estate sale series The first link shows my street photography in nyc. The second link shows my 35mm film of estate sales, where I documented the odd setups of the houses and everything for sale inside the estate sale houses and how odd it was seeing people go through dead people's belongings trying to find something worth paying for. So for me it makes me think of my mortality and my families mortality and how many strangers will be riffling through my belongings when I'm gone and maybe what we have is just temporary. I think that's where i get the inspiration for my project called "be invisible". That feeling of being an outsider and not really belonging anywhere, it's what I've been photographing my entire career and it's all I ever photograph. So I will try and included photos that will demonstrate that theme.
