It's been a while since I saw a moment happening and got really excited to capture it. These two ladies were sitting right in front of me on the B train and made me think about the concept of worship. We now do live in a society where some raise their hands and other their phones to guide them, inform them, and to bring them a sense of satisfaction and peace. We all just want to feel liked and accepted. Can our phones satisfy our need to connect to something higher that one day we grow so close and dependent on our phones that we move away from religion and God?

Maybe I'm overthinking it...

Anyhow, I posted this photo on my Instagram and it got a lot of likes/comments so I thought I'd post the full photo here.

 

 

Pretty Lights x Pandora

Pretty Lights in NYC-1 I tend to not go see the same artist perform multiple times but anytime I get to rock with Pretty Lights I'll make an exception. Mainly because no two shows I've seen of his have ever felt the same. The vibes are always different.

Screen shot 2013-07-01 at 12.55.32 AM One of the things that I am really bad about is sending people photos that I would take of them day to day or while I'm out. They usually end up a hard drive that I rarely go through. This is one of the problems with capturing content in todays age. We take so many photos/videos and aside for the ones that make their way on to Instagram or in a Facebook album the rest just get buried within  a hard drive amongst the many many gigs of data we have now accumulated.

I use Adobe Lightroom for image management, but unless you invest a significant amount of time meticulously tagging and organizing your files, its really difficult to dig into an archive and pull out a specific image. This is mostly the reason some images are never opened again and just get lost, including photos I would take of my friends.

For this reason I have put together Wavyyy.com which is basically an (highly) edited version of photos that I take day to day and events that I casually shoot. It's also an answer to a question I most commonly get asked while having a camera in my hand : "Where can I see these photos?"
