In the Street with CDM

The street vendor plays a critical role in the heartbeat of the Big Apple, from feeding the many denizens taking an evening stroll to the numerous cab drivers taking a meal break or getting a quick beverage between fares. Always up and ready to serve anyone, anything, and at anytime. @cmccain8, #streetographer, #NYC, #B+W, #night

Dan Wechsler, filmmaker, has filmed a documentary on street photographer Matt Weber. Matt has been an incredible inspiration to most street photographers from the greater NYC area, and as a former taxi driver (now THAT must have been fun) he saw NYC streets from the ground level and was able to shoot the real flavor of the streets, from the point of view of someone in the everyday grind of it. If you are a street photographer in New York, this is the film you should view.

On a warm day like this, a lite lunch on 6th Avenue in midtown is a great idea.

Just strolling through the subway, passing the record store on their way to wherever.

Nothing like the simplicity of direct lines meeting in points in the frame.

Midtown, where the concrete jungle glimmers in the sunshine.

There’s nothing like walking down 5th Ave., with a cup and a friend.

We just love our phones, but what we lose out on is the basic human element of physical interaction. The more we connect online, the more distant we become from our humanity. Take five minutes and think about that, and while you’re at it disconnect and say hello to your family.

Checking for directions, where to next?
