West Lake Sunrise 1 Photograph

I am from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and I have been traveling around the world since 1997, including significant time in Bangladesh, China, Burma, South Korea, and Jerusalem. I learned the basics of photography in the 1990s, with film processed in my basement darkroom, and rekindled my love for the practice of photography in 2018 during some overseas travels. Still officially based in New Jersey with deep roots there, I've been honing my skills in Shanghai, and on recent trips to Australia, Cambodia, and Thailand. Street photography is my favorite way to explore a city, study the people there, and bring home strong memories of that time and place. My street photography inspirations include Garry Winogrand, Joel Meyerowitz, Saul Leiter, Vivian Maier, and Diane Arbus, and I've been learning Intentional Camera Movement by studying the works of Kaisa Sirén. I use a Fujifilm X-T4 and Nikon D90.
