How It All Got Started
It all started when I was lying in an ambulance. I just had a car accident and my shirt was drenched in blood. I couldn’t speak. I stared at the strangers on the streets staring back at me, I thought to myself, “What the heck, I almost died! I’m just going to buy myself a DSLR!”. One week later, I ordered one. This is how my photo journey started. Accident, blood, ambulance, DSLR…… Enjoy the pictures! Mira, New York City 2009

Nonetheless, admirable! (Click here for more photos of creative runners!) 2. You Beat My Time? No Way! How some seemingly unfit looking’ runners beat fit looking...

New Yorkers know how to organize parades! I was at the corner of Battery Place and Washington St and could barely get a standing spot at the barricade.

An authentic 19th century Irish roofless cottage sits on a modern, angular structure located on one of the most expensive real estate in New York City. Majestic yet quaint. Quiet yet hectic. Tragic yet inspiring. It is a garden jutting out from the earth at an angle, or in my mind, a giant skateboard tilted 45...
