In the gloomy tunnels of the New York Underground, a woman in dark glasses stares out from her carriage and straight down the lens of street photographer Richard Sandler's Leica. Faster than the blink of an eye Sandler depresses the [...]

John Free : Los Angeles railhead and the legendary street photographer of sleepy hollow
Sergio Burns, 21st June 2017
The hollowed-out eyes stare out, haunting and lost. Their faces show pain, restlessness and a certain world weariness, these paradoxical rail Transients. Glassy-eyed urchins of no fixed abode, riding freight trains to nowhere, 'gridding' across the United States. A slice [...]
Jonathan Higbee and his street photography have been on the rise for the past few years.

Sergio Burns, 8th May 2017
He presents his art, street photography, as a slight, though perceptible, indentation in cosmic time. A ripple of inspiration, an unexpected occurrence, a juxtaposition, a contradiction or irony, snapped in a fleeting microsecond. The object, dappled in light and shadow, [...]
We can't see the subject's face, obscured by flowing brown-cum-maroon hair (to match her boots?) as she stands back to wall looking down, glued to her smartphone. A self-consciously symmetrical photo of a fashionista, of sorts, in sawn-off denim and, [...]
