Broadway is not just a name or a vast avenue. It’s a gathering of people from diverse cultures, upbringings and characteristics all in the process of experiencing their individual realities. It has texture, sound and smell. It has life! As I walked our small stretch of Broadway at different times of day, I closed my eyes, meditating on the surrounding and listened, letting the avenue dictate where and when to capture a moment. The medium of black and white photography is used to eliminate the distraction of color and illuminate the purity of street life.
