Picture This: Street Food Of New York

My name is Lawrence Francis and I am a New York City street photographer. I am a native of New York and spent the majority of my life in Washington Heights. There's something about New York that everyone seems to admire. I too find myself interested in New York, but not in the way others may see. People often see the glam and glory of New York, I, on the other hand, don't. A true New Yorker would tell you there's much more to New York than the high rise buildings and rush hour. I like to capture the raw, untold, unspoken, unwanted parts of New York and turn it into art.
