There’s just something about NYC. I LOVE NEW YORK..I don’t deny, nor will I attempt to make excuses for my behavior…simply guilty as charged…Moving along, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our next featured photographer Amin Torres..

“My name is amin torres and I was born and raised in the dominican republic. I work at an interactive agency in midtown ny and teach a class at parsons. I post a photo everyday and try to post a drawing or a portrait on fridays.”

01 Malaysia Contemporary Photo blog   Eiffel Chong picturesPhotography of Eiffel Chong -“i try to work with various themes, but somehow or other, all these themes point towards the same direction: life and death. my photographs have a very strong sense of life and death in them. not death as in people dying, or blood and gore. sometimes it is about the traumatic effect a subject matter is portraying. the traumatic effect has nothing to do with scenes of violence or obscenity. life is not limited to living beings and plants. there are more to life than just photographs of people or beautiful flowers.

rather, i am more interested in the immanent features of its particular time and space. it’s the memories and photography is all about preserving it. photography is all about evidence that something had happened.”
