The photo was taken in April of 2011. I felt a sense of threat - from the expression on his face to his choice of t-shirt.
The inspiration was to capture this fear. We made eye contact. I think he was more "startled" that I wanted to take his photo, then I was about taking it.
What does it say about New York? It just shows a bit of a darker side. The presence of fear or maybe how we wrongly perceive it.
