Sun Tanning - Limited Edition 1 of 35 Photograph

You are invited to glimpse the world through the eyes of Bruce Byers. Life goes on around us, yet rarely do we stop to take notice. A child gazes in wonder; long-lost friends rejoice in meeting, an old man sits paused in thought — all for the most part without witness. Byers has refined the art of capturing such rich but fleeting events and immersing the viewer in a world of private reflection. Unstaged and unstructured, his photographs reflect spontaneous moments of introspection, isolation, joy, serenity, playfulness, and love. His images become hauntingly etched in the mind’s eye. "Street Moments" is a collection of such images, spanning over 30 years. Byers’ photography communicates an exceptionally wide range of shared human emotions. Perusing his work, one is alternately moved by its spontaneous depth of feeling and entertained by its serendipitous humor. "I have always been fascinated by the emotional power of an individual’s private reveries, which are typically unobserved by the outside world," notes Byers. His ability to capture these moments has evolved over the years.
