My name is Steve Shohl and I'm a photographer living in Brooklyn.



I started shooting this series in late 2010, shortly after moving to New York. I began by just looking for unique hats. And while that remains the project's organizing principle, it's become much more about the portraits, and a way of expressing New York City through the diversity of those faces.



Shooting with a smartphone, headphones always attached, allows me to shoot (usually) undetected, candidly catching subjects unaware.
