I love photographing people. I’m constantly fascinated by the way people dress and carry themselves; by their faces and body shapes; their expressions and mannerisms. Most times, I’m not shy about going up to a person I find interesting and asking if I can make a photo of them.

Which is why this project by photographer Simon Hoegsberg looks and sounds so cool to me. It’s called Faces of New York.

Once in a while I see a person on the street who immediately attracts my attention. I’m fascinated by the appearance of the person and feel a strong urge to walk over and say hi.

I know that impulse well. Check out Hoegsberg’s whole Faces of New York series.
