The NY Experience- A New York City Street Photography Journal

by Mark Giarrusso

To capture the people of New York City in photos is to indeed document the very soul of the most complex yet beautiful places in the world. The 2011 Census estimates there are 8,244,910 people and 800 languages spoken in New York City.  Ask each individual what New York City means to them and you will probably receive 8,244,910 different answers in whatever of the 800 languages they are speaking. There is no more unique place on Earth and that uniqueness comes from the people here.

It’s easy enough to see that the city is not only made up of people, but the experience of life here is made up of their moments.

    I loved seeing these solitary moments in a city full of people.  No man is an island – but it can sure seem that way at times.

    Mark really lives the photos he takes because he understands the life within them. He’s very knowledgeable and aware of what he sees. I believe that’s why each photo takes on a life of it’s own because each one is a part of who he is.
