Street photography aims at capturing the extraordinary within every day life through candid snaps. By focusing beyond the mundane, the members of the Burn My Eye collective reveal their personal visions of the world and explore humanity’s very soul.

The eleven photographers from Burn My Eye present prints that range from surreal Asian captures to light leaked images taken on the rough pavements of New York. Streetwise, humorous, cinematic, insightful, the imagery takes the spirit of the street to both public spaces and the more intimate surrounds of the family home.

“Strange Days” is a compilation of street photography images taken during the past year. My approach is to photograph without a specific theme or idea in mind. When I look back at the pictures I’ve taken, I notice certain echoes in theme and style that transcend the documentary specifics of the images. These pictures are like missing pages from the same story, blown across time to different corners of the world. Without telling the full story, I’ve tried to put some of these images back together in portfolios. “Strange Days” like the film I named the portfolio after, is one of these fragmented stories, a puzzle with plenty of missing pieces.
