In my wanderings around NYC yesterday, I met a photographer by the name of Markus Hartel. He seems to focus on street photography. He has an upcoming project called 'The Americans 2010'. His plan is to travel the US for around 90 days to capture his sense of Americans in 2010. He also plans to use public transportation to better engage with the population.
He is creating a short documentary to help him publicize his project and I was interviewed as well (let's see if I make the final cut).
If you are interested in this kind of work, here where you can find more information.
The Americans 2010, a journey across the USA by Markus Hartel, street photographer, New York City
PS. I never met him before yesterday and I have no investment in this project.
