Abstract Street Photography

This project is part of "Everyone, Anywhere", a project also posted on Lens Culture. In these images I reduce an image to its bare essentials: a gestalt, a gesture. What is the minimum information that generates the image of a person? What visual details generate an emotional response with the viewer? When we strip away extraneous information, like time and place, nationality and race, what is the viewer’s emotional takeaway from the abstractions captured in an image? What becomes apparent is that a certain level, the details don't matter: the images are of every person, anywhere.
