"certain things catch my eye, and I'm compelled to take a photo..."

"educator, documentary filmmaker, writer, lover of creativity & visuals"

I have an on-going project "Teeshirttales" where I explore the reasons why people wear certain tee-shirts.

I believe there is a story or "tale" behind every tee.(you can see more @Teeshirttales9)

Displayed are many portraits taken of people I come across sporting a tee that catches my eye: several spotted at my former part-time gigs --many of the photos taken before I developed an interest in photography and were taken the spur of the moment

Recently I've begun to use my IPhone for on the spot interviews to go along with the photos and I think this works well.

So if I'm walking the NYC streets and you're wearing an interesting tee-I'm likely to ask for a photo.

Nowadays photography is in my passion -I can not venture outside without a camera.

You can see many of my loves in the galleries I've created--please visit-- and thanks in advance

I love viewing the wonderful photography of others--there are so many amazing-and inspiring photographers on Flickr
