I didn’t know what i wanted to do. What i wanted to accomplish out of this. Where i wanted to go with this. So many thoughts going on in my head. Easily distracted, but i know where my head was always at. Ever since i heard about this guy. The Brandon Stanton. Humans of New York. I teared. It really affected me deeply. I wanted it. His shoes. I wanted to fill them in. Understand where he comes from. Why he does it. What is his inspiration. Ever since then i never loss sight of him. The whole time I wanted to try and impersonate his style. What he does. Wasn’t easy. Isn’t easy. To be able to take photographs of people you don’t know and speak to them. Ask about their lives. Know them. Acknowledge them. Appreciate them. So what i did wasn’t nearly as deep, but it tied together. It was a start. It’s all the root of life. I had this idea of walking around taking pictures of specific people. Talk to them, but when it got to that point i just couldn’t. I came close, but couldn’t. So instead I decided to use life and create a message. Open audiences’ minds to something bigger. Something to really reflect on and cherish just as he did. This all came down to myself being big on Humanity because i feel like too many people would rather put others down than lend out a helping hand. So in my case I wanted to have people appreciate what they have and think about those that don’t have anything. Leading to try and make a change in the world so that people who don’t have anything can experience what you have. Be Human.
