AROUND THE CORNER: Cigarette Break - TURN 1

Chongqing, China. A man smokes a cigarette just outside the translucent plastic curtains of a restaurant.

I was hoping for someone to pierce the curtain. Perhaps a customer exiting and creating a depth in the image by juxtaposing the clarity of outside with the opaqueness inside. I couldn’t have asked for a better scene than this man, positioned in between the two worlds, having a smoke.

About AROUND THE CORNER

A whole new world lies around every corner.

The street photographer realizes that what we are conditioned to accept as normal and mundane is never that. In the photographer’s eye, mere looking is transcended into seeing. All it really takes is an inner attitude fueled by curiosity and nourished by respect.

AROUND THE CORNER is an open-ended collection of street photography 1/1 NFTs. Standalone images taken in a multitude of locations, far or near, exotic or ordinary, but always presenting a mirror, encouraging the viewer to turn around and observe their own environment, to marvel at the stage we're on and the play we find ourselves part of.
