Hello, my name is Chuck Jines. I’m just one of several billion animated carbon creatures passing through existence. While I’m at it, I like to spend my time as a writer, humanitarian, and philosopher who is generally moving in the opposite direction of the crowd. I love doing research, writing, and blogging.

To me, street photography is more than just taking pretty pictures. At its highest level, street photography (and, art in general) is about provoking intellectual and social action. I try and weave art, politics, philosophy, and social action into my work. www.chuckjines.com/
