Jason Martini's inspiration is just the people he sees walking down the street everyday. He said, "I'm trying to create art out of real people and real life. You wonder what everyone's story is and where they're going to and what story you can make out of them."
I think that he wanted to show how chaotic the city streets could be. I think by putting it in black and white he really put that into action. | When I saw this photo I felt a little sorrowful but also fortunate. It's sad that someone would have to dig through the garbage just to survive but it makes me realize how lucky I am to have what I do. I think that is what he wanted his audience to feel. | I just liked the way this picture was set up. You have the young woman next to the elderly one. |
