Watching people from a distance has always intrigued me. As a photographer, I feel I have control over my subjects although I know this isn't true. I hide behind my lens afraid of people judging me, because all the while I feel I'm passing judgement on them. My photographs have become this common place between us.
These images are a documentation of the people I've passed by on Lincoln Avenue. The area around Lincoln Ave. has a high crime and poverty rate that affects the people who live there. I sympathize with these people as I try to understand social classes and question why some people have it easy while others struggle. I photograph these people to get a better understanding of who they are and who I am and may become.
