Artist Statement

We live in a society in which people are constantly rushing just to catch up with the things happening around them. Because we're so busy everyday, we tend to not notice and give credit to the people that help us catch up with the world—the people that keep us going. I chose this project because I thought it would be interesting to stop and meet these people and take pictures of what they do everyday. I thought it was important to know that the people who we buy food from or buy Metrocards from are everywhere in the city when we need them.... Except for the taxis in New York City.
