Just What I See: Photographs of New York City Street Life

Photography by: Greg Schmigel, NYC

Just What I See is a remarkable collection of iPhone photographs of New York City street life by Greg Schmigel. The series of black-and-white photographs offers a candid look at everyday moments in the lives of people and strangers on the streets and public places of the city. The images reveal a deeply personal sense of beauty evoked by the more simple aspects of life: the facial features of a stranger, a man’s gait, the shadows or reflections of a woman, the quiet smile on the face of a passing child. The photographs capture the beautiful, dreary, mundane, sad and sometimes outrageous features of daily life in the big city in a very intimately touching way.
