On The Streets With Bruce Gilden

Hunting for characters on the streets of New York City with photographer Bruce Gilden. I wouldn’t like to be photographed by a stranger from such a close range but the outcomes are great. “A lot of people walking in the city are like lost in thought. They’re not paying attention.”
