Early 2020, while on assignment in NYC, I took some free time to add to my street photo documentary series. I came across a few situations that, in hind sight, seem like precursors for the coming topsy-turvy year we were about to experience. First was the gentleman who decided to strike a crazy pose in front of the Oculus for his girl friend.
Humor: the quality of being amusing or comic in literature or speech (or visually), a mood or state of mind.
Kitsch: objects or design considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way.
I’ve always had a taste for things that make me smile, chuckle or even laugh out loud, along with an extra side dish of irony or satire.
