"I love the challenge of capturing a moment in time that only happens once. Photography helps me be in the moment - it's much easier to be thoughtless with a camera in hand. If you are thinking about the past or the future you can't capture the present." - Thomas LaGrega found his love for photography at a young age in North Carolina, when he borrowed his father's 35mm to shoot his friends dunking a basketball on a 7 foot hoop. He currently splits his time between New York and California, but never stays long - he's often found on the beaches of Puerto Rico and Mexico. This photograph was captured on a historic film camera, which is part of it's beauty- so the archival look is presented well when printed, instead of ultra high-definition camera prints. Lower East Side – Black and White Street Photography Print, New York City. "Who doesn't love a snow day? Fingers crossed the office is closed." Eldridge and Broome, Lower East Side, New York. This image captures the quiet buzz of a city in pause—footsteps instead of traffic, bundled-up locals, and sneakers strung above the street. It's the kind of scene you only catch when the snow muffles everything but the moment. Ideal for city dwellers, nostalgic New Yorkers, or collectors of black and white urban photography, winter street scenes, or Lower East Side history.
