My cousin Jerome over the holidays introduced me to Brian’s work as conversations go. Immediately, checking out his Instagram the force of his portraits demanded I ask for an interview. The thing that strikes me about his work is that they personify the American image of a a street photographer just going out in the streets of New York City and shooting people up close. A lot like the jazz musician who hones his art practicing under street lamp on a bridge or the next basketball star practicing a jumper in the rain on a broken down inner city court…it is just done for the love, as it is a craft. And you can tell he has it down from the perfect anticipation shown in the response to question 12 that speaks to the importance of spontaneity in relationships to the perfectly framed timelessness in response to question 9.
