Diamond in the muck

Diamond in the Muck

Piece description from the artist

Street photography isn't my first love, but this woman was meant to be captured by a lens. The way she moved through the crowd of people on this busy New York street, the way she was dressed, all signified that she was out of place. This is not because of anything other than her existing in another world, a world of her own. She was far apart from those surrounding her in the way she carried herself, she stuck out like a diamond would in mud.
