How I see it

-Art is an imitation and interpretation of reality. Photography is the visual appreciation of the art that is already there---the attempt to capture things as wonderful as they actually are.-

A Winning Smile














This shot was taken as a photojournalism assignment. The idea was to photograph a stranger and ask them what they would never eat again.

Bernard Ikegwuoha, 24, smiles at passersby while they enter Red Square in the spring sunshine.
Someone asked if Ikegwuoha was hot in his suit. He replied, “No man, I’m from Africa!”

Ikegwuoha will never eat chocolate again. He tried it as a child when he lived in Nigeria. He said he used to like it, but now that he is in America, it just doesn’t taste good.
