January 29, 2017 Immigrant This Bangladesh immigrant continues to sweep the corner of Warren and Church street in lower Manhattan even as over 20,000 protesters march from Battery Park to Federal Plaza. #brooklynportrait #brooklynphotography #makeportraits #makeportrait #fujixt2 #fujifilmx_us @fujifilmx_us (at Tribeca)

Repost from @ruddyroye - August 28, 2016 Power to the People There is a reason why my words are married to my pictures. They are guides, pillars spoken in black and white set to prevent the wayward thinking or behaviors of the yahoos. It still does not mean that mindless Neanderthals won't stumble on my feed and express their cave like mentality. Yesterday I took images of Afropunk goers, asking them specific questions. I was charged with stirring the activist/politics pot, but the images were uploaded on their feed without the captions. Since it's not my thing, I am going to upload here in their original form. Uzo said I wore the t-shirt because today I felt powerful. I completely believe in black art and fashion. We are the original creators. It's time we remember how powerful we are and start contributing and investing in ourselves and in our community. I believe that we as black people are waking up to the fact that all we got is each other and that we need to fuel our economy to survive and succeed. There is a higher number of people supporting black art and fashion now than before." #afropunk #brooklynportrait #brooklynphotography #streetportrait #streetphotography #makeportraits #makeportrait #leica240 @leicacamerausa @leicaakademieusa @afropunk

September 7, 2106 Hope Earlier this summer I listened to a photographer I respect dearly @edkashi give a presentation with his wife Julie Winokur where they basically challenged photographers to have other platforms and doors for their work other than just Instagram. They both said there has to be other doors we can use to help the people we photograph other than just the Instagram platform. I have been thinking about this a lot. I have been very reluctant to do the same thing as before -- taking an image and just putting it up on my Instagram feed -- and hoping that someone gets help. How can I help further? The search is ongoing. However tonight on my way home I was stopped at a turning green light by Al who said he was hungry. I asked him why was he out on the streets on a rainy night and he answered, "Maan I am hungry. Can you help me?" As I looked up the light changed, but then I saw that my car was the lone one at the turn so I asked if we could chat for a minute. "Maan it's all my fault. I use to work for a Fortune 500 company, I was married for 27 years but I made some wrong decisions. I am not blaming anybody but myself, but I am coming back," he said. Those words alone filled me with joy. His resilient spirit made me smile. I guess I can continue telling these vignettes until I find that door. #brooklynportrait #brooklynphotography #streetphotography #streetportrait #makeportrait #makeportraits #whenlivingisaprotest (at Bedstuy Brooklyn)
