Saw a man with warm sunlight on his face.
So I went over and sat next to him.
“Love?
Yes, I have been in love.
multiple times!”
“My parents never taught me about sex.
I learned it from the streets.”
“You just feel it when you are in love.”
“I find it more valuable talking to you than
reading this book about Picasso.”
Thank you, Ken, for sharing.
Hope to see you again when you get back from your trip!

Finding yourself in the streets
The way we live these days, especially in the big cities, alienates us from others around us to a degree that we may live years in an apartment without knowing the name of our next door neighbor. With street photography, I meet people every day, I ask their names, they tell me their ages, chapters of their life stories, we look each other in the eyes, we exchange smiles, and we meet at a level that goes deeper than the superficial. When you love street photography, you find yourself loving people, and this makes the world a touch warmer and more pleasant to be in.
See you in the streets!
