I am always happier with a camera in my hands. I forget that regularly and need to be reminded. Love these shots, particularly the Halal cart, the subway shot and Daddy Warbucks crossing the street. Also a New Yorker, I agree 100%, so much to see if we just slow down for the details.

So cool! Thanks for appreciating it! It means the world to me! I love taking pictures of the Halal carts, the guys are always so welcoming, especially in NY!

I like printing (on a humble little digital printer, no fancy darkroom stuff for me yet) it and adding the print to my bag, so I gift it to them with a note saying “Thanks for being so nice to photographers”! It’s like a mutual friendship.

I only did that twice, but it’s so nice to see their reactions! I feel they are mostly ignored by the toughness of the city , these acts show they are also sensible, fragile, and lovely buddies.

One day I’ll release an album only with the carts and food trucks!

Lovely thought. My one day is a photo book of mom’s dementia journey. Some of the photos I’ve gotten are haunting.
