STREET UNDERDOGS

While wandering the streets my eye is always drawn to mundane details in the urban environment - unimportant, negligible, easy to ignore or even plain ugly things and places. I find them rather than seek them. I like to call them “street underdogs” and take them out of their ordinary context in an attempt to make them remarkable in some way, or even to beautify them. These street underdogs often include some traces of human presence or byproducts of human activity, but the humans themselves are not present in the frame, which leaves those newly observed traces open to interpretation.
