"The vast majority of my Hipstography is street photography that I do in Chicago and when traveling around the United States. Even though Chicago is a very visual town, my absolute favorite American city to shoot in is Los Angeles. Despite its creepiness factor of 10, I employ the shooting form the hip method in an attempt to capture pure reality with no camera awareness. Photographer Gregory Crewdson once said that he enjoys the 'intersection of beauty and sadness'. I couldn’t agree more."
