Amazing what can happen when you end up speaking to a bunch of strangers in New Dehli. Next thing I know, I was whisked off in a rickshaw to the outskirts of the city and witnessed first hand people of all backgrounds coming together to celebrate Dussehra. This festival is also referred to as Vijayadashami and it marks the triumph of good over evil, and the death of the demon king Ravana. . . . . . #filmisnotdead #35mm #portra #streetphotography #filmphotography #SPiCollective #portrait #portrait_shots #nikonf3 #lensculture #lensculturestreets #magnumphotos #photojournalist #photojournalism #reportage #ReportageSpotlight #documentaryphotography #everydayindia #street_life #ig_street #streetmagazine (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp7GozthTk9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u8akq0f17lvx

A couple of weeks ago, I went to India for @duncan_argo's incredible wedding. I took a few snaps on my trusty old film camera. More to follow but here's one I really like. (at New Dehli, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpr84l0jWr6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qov44x9zy11g

This is Jose from Newark, NJ. He collects disguarded plastic bottles and cans across New York City every single day of the week. He gets 5 cents for each bottle or can he brings to the recycling facilities dotted around the city. The thing is, he can't bring more than 240 in total per day. If you do the maths, that's a maximum of $12/day. • Shot on my Nikon F3 (aka the tank) with a 50mm lens. Film stock is the good old faithful Kodak Portra 400. • #portraitphotography #streetphotography #kodakportra400 #filmisnotdead (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnsBzQ8jgUD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q3tihbha5oaq

Really enjoying shooting my first roll of film on my “new” Nikon F3. Shot a whole roll of Kodak Portra 400 around the Jersey Shore. Here’s a cheeky little self-portrait to kick things off. More to follow. (at Avalon, New Jersey)
