I’m at twitter, though I have hardly begun using it yet.

A small fraction of the approximately 1,800 candid street portraits that constitute my Photographing the multitude project are on my flickr. I am gradually uploading them all. An even smaller fraction are posted here. A self-published (aka “vanity”) book is available here, though it’s regrettably expensive.
