Photograph 1

       I chose to write about John Chervinsky . He was a self-taught photographer. He was fascinated by the concept of time and used it in his work.

A lot of photography has to do with timing and this image proves it. As the title states this is an image from New York City. After only being in  New York a couple of times I know how busy it can be so the fact he was able to capture so little in th
