This is my legacy project - A decade of moments in the art of observing human beings commuting on The Staten Island Ferry

I find the journey via boat across the New York harbor to be a meditative break from the chaos of a hustling city.

Upon boarding, the vibration of the ferry’s engine is felt. You can hear the sound of the water slapping against the stern of the vessel as it departs. Walking along the deck, gazing past the horizon of the vast ocean can be calm and humbling. 

What I’m finding through making these photographs is that I am not the only one lost in myself. These portraits are no more an outward look at others as they are an inward look at my own psyche

I was granted the award "SONY Emerging Photographer of the Year" and have been featured in Photo District News and CNN for this project



Lost In Transit

I saw this woman leaning back at the stern of the boat in her beautiful blue dress at the end of summer 

It felt like she was really going through something and it reminded me of when I just need to breathe and be in the moment because nothing last forever
