“My name is Joupin and i started my photo blog as i wanted people to see what i see throughout everyday life. I want to take people on a journey and i like to capture moments as they happen. I tend to do a lot of portraits as each person is different and each person displays a different emotion every time.”

“I also like to capture everyday things as these are things which everyone can relate too. I shoot mainly in B&W as to me it allows the audience to see the full emotion and story behind the image.”

12:59 p.m. The final minute of the lunch hour. Most nine-to-fivers are heading obediently back to the workplace, after having spent their lunch hour… well, eating lunch. I’m also heading back to the office, but have probably just gotten Wendy’s chili to go after spending my lunch hour doing other things.

This photo blog is an outlet for me to share photographs I’ve taken prowling the streets of downtown Pittsburgh during my lunch hour. You’ll see a lot of ill-conceived street photography, but also architecture, cityscapes, urban decay, abstractions, and whatever else strikes me. Of course, I take pictures at other times and in other places, so look for those here too. But as long as I have other things competing for my time, the convenience of lunchtime photography will remain a reality, and the resultant shots a recurring theme here.

I’ll make updates every few days or so; naturally they’ll appear at 12:59 p.m.

The pictures you are about to see are the result my fascination with people watching. Street photography? Social documentary? Snapshots? Who knows…Moments in time captured by a mere…passer-by !

Photography is not a way of living; I do not make money out of it, at least not intentionally and not substantially. Photography is the way how I live my life, how I define myself – my emotions, the truth and the lies…Photography for Soul by Can Berkol
