One word that summarizes Sam’s stream in a nutshell is NUANCE. You can quickly walk through the images and be mesmerized by his strong take on the life he discovers in the streets of NYC or you can stop and LINGER over his images. It is then that you really get a taste of this man’s talent because it’s in the nuances that he captures the heart and soul of his unsuspecting subjects. First he shows you what the normal eye sees; then he shows you the subject’s idiosyncrasies. Although we tend to ignore those, in most street photography, it’s the missing element.

Sam's images here present to us images of his city that serve not only to entertain, but also to educate. New York City is his stage, and the rich array of its citizens is his casting.

Sam's images here present to us images of his city that serve not only to entertain, but also to educate. New York City is his stage, and the rich array of its citizens is his casting. He shows us comedy, tragedy, sadness, joy, extraordinary triumphs, and hard times. We see the rich, poor, middle class, and most of all the hard-working. And it's all made available to us through his sharp eye for detail. His photography is a wonder to behold and I always look foward to seeing his next offering. Thank you, Sam, for being a part of Flickr.
