Reading People of New York

I absolutely enjoy reading outside, while waiting for a train, on a plane or subway.
Just recently, I finished reading a beloved masterpiece, "Taking the Lead" Lessons from a Life in Motion, by Derek Hough. Such a great book to read. Feeling so motivated!

While reading in public places I see a lot of peole doing the same, so I've decided to photograph random reading people, particularly in New York area (but I want to expand this and photograph in other states/cities/countries where I travel and make one big photoproject).

About a month ago, I saw a work of an amazing photographer, Steve McCurry, called "Reading" (take a look at his work, absolutely wonderful photographs). This is what I want to do with my photoproject.

Obviously, my protographs are not as good as Steve McCurry's but hey, I'm still learning...
