Big Brother is your friend. Subway, NYC. August 2010
You might have noticed but I have a thing for surveillance. It is a reoccurring theme in my work, especially in New York after September 11th. I like taking photographs of cameras and I an really interested in the reaction people have to being photographed.
Always on guard. Lower Manhattan. August 2010
As a photographer I am constantly watching others. What’s interesting is that for the most part people ignore official surveillance but can become very upset when they see me photographing them. The reality is that every one of us is photographed and recorded hundreds, if not thousands of times a day. My attitude is what’s one more?

Of course being photographed can be a deeply unsettling experience. Perhaps because I am face to face with my subjects they sometimes feel they can express their general unease at being constantly documented at a real live human being?
