“17 USD” is my genesis collection of images that I’ve taken in the city that sparked my passion for photography.

When I bought my first camera in 2018, I quickly became obsessed with NYC photography through social media. At that time, I had never been to the city alone, but one day I anxiously got on a train and told myself I’d figure it out. That sparked an obsession.

From then on, I wanted to go shoot every day I could. The problem was getting to NYC from my hometown in NJ, which meant that I had to spend money. I wasn't making much income, so I was constantly met with the struggle of deciding whether or not I could afford to pay the $17 train ticket from my hometown to Manhattan, which is the best way to travel between the two places. All the times I said yes have allowed me to build myself up as a photographer and be able to put this collection together.

Collectors will have the choice of a print and will gain early access into future projects.
