Photo: 'Asian Influence' San Francisco 2013

I love to photograph because I am curious and adventurous and a story teller.

Once I started studying and exploring street photography I then termed myself as an ‘On-looker’. Yes, I am a passive spectator; I am someone who watches the scene without being involved.  Most importantly, I have an irresistible passion for capturing a scene that holds a story with heart and soul.

I found myself an obscured spot outside the hotel lobby, a perfect location to shell myself from the space of these gathered chefs; I leaned against the concrete wall, put my eye to the view finder and focused in on the scene. I was curious about what this group of men on the other side of the street were discussing, how they lived, how they felt about America and where they happy. I felt there was distinctive cultural value to this story.  It was at that moment that I became intensely aware of my new passion and new willingness to see the world differently through ‘street photography’.
