NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray at the stroke of midnight on #newyearseve2016. This was my first picture of 2017. As a kid from the Bronx, I'm honored to officially work at City Hall and document some of the most exciting and defining moments of our time. Follow my Instagram as I photograph life from the Bronx to City Hall and all of New York City. #alwaysnewyork #bronxphotoleague #nycmayorsoffice #documentary #2017

A midnight memorial for Jequan a.k.a "Q:" outside the Mill Brook Houses. Bronx, NY. 2016. And finally to finish up the year, The second to last image an edit of my favorite pictures from my work in the Bronx this past summer. It felt like a long year covering Murder in the 40th pct for @nytimes in my backyard. I made these pictures to help me cope with some of the day to day realities I was witnessing. Here is a tribute to the South Bronx, a place that is my home and the community I am happy to call my people. #southbronx #35mm #bronxphotoleague #bx #documentary #photojournalism #leicacamerausa #shootfilm #bronxphotographer #thebronx #rip #gunviolence
