ADDED WALL STREET PROJECT!

There is a sample of the photos above. The initial idea with this project is that I was trying to emulate as closely as I could the photographers that inspired me to start shooting in the first place. Incidentally a lot of those photos were taken in the era of the Great Depression; books like Robert Frank's "The Americans" and Walker Evans' "American Photographs", the "Family of Man" exhibition etc.

I photographed on Kodak Tri-X and shot it on the Olympus OM-1 that my Dad gave me in high school - all very olde fashioned. Meanwhile, it turned out that after slowly shooting over the course of a few years a poetic end point for the project appeared, another terrible market crash.

Here are a few Robert Frank photos and an Evans on the right.
