Welcome

Citysaints & Rotgut Symphonies is a blog to display my “Hunger” series, an on-going street-photo project of documenting the homeless and the hungry. I work exclusively with vintage and plastic-lens toy cameras; I currently have no flash, light meter or tripod and generally shoot from the hip. (and, of course, no digital anything)

More info as it develops! I’ll try to post often! I’ll probably start another tumblr for more general plastic-lens street-photo work! Here you go, kid!

(Death is not a parenthesis, find me like Vivian Maier)

Dearly I sing Cartier-Bresson

Dearly I weep Robert Frank

Dearly I & you departed,
