Metropolitan

Metropolitan life is characterized by constant close proximity to other people, to many styles of life, culture and thought. Here I present a collection of images portraying the relentless muscularity, the garishness, the grotesquely beautiful underbelly, the ironic humor, and the paradox of simultaneous intimacy and loneliness of urban American life.

I hope you enjoy this collection which is very much a work-in-progress. The objective is for this collection to grow to approximately 150 images. So do check for new additions in the coming weeks. Or, better yet, use my RSS feed link to automatically be notified of new images.

Ken--

As always, I am delighted by looking at your fabulous work. I was going to start leaving comments on each individual photo I liked, but I quickly realized I would be here for days writing and enjoying. So instead, I wanted to acknowledge the entire collection. Once again you have shown your mastery of capturing the everyday. I know that I've seen--and enjoyed--some of these photos before, but there are plenty others that have caught my eye. As with all photography that speaks to me, after looking through your gallery I am inspired to keep striving to meet a bar you have set so high! Thanks so much!
