What are the songs of the city?

A tuscan like Californian home, with a balcony and trees surrounding it, taken at an upward angle from below.

TAKE FOUNTAIN: Finding Home Amongst LA’s Historic Buildings

Artist sitting in a chair looking at his images/art of various animals and Picasso like face paintings strung up with clothespins on a public fence outside.

Jobs I’ve Had

Black and white image with the New York City line in the horizon, a bridge running across, and old shipping cars pulling off in the distance.

The Man Who Loved New York

A narrow lit up scence on the sidewalk of people playing, walking their dogs, sitting down with their dogs, and shadows as the sun beams on the pavement.

Old Havana

A neighborhood at night, powerlines in the distance, houses with night lights on that glare the image, cars parked in driveways.

White Noise Nocturne: Tour of Ypsilanti

Black and white aerial photo of a person dancing on a set of stairs in an alleyway.

Blue Sun

Black and white image of people sitting on a metro train reading books and newspapers.
