New York is one of the most ever-changing and photogenic places in the world.

The photographer walks down the streets of New York and offers to the viewer his peculiar vision of a colorful, multi-ethnic and multi-faceted city. A series of funny pictures, who can surprise us and drive the viewer in a curious path, capturing the rhythms and moods of the greatest city in the world. This compelling reportage is a valuable document about different people, situations, days and lives in the same amazing place.
