A series of my New York City street photography was chosen by Photo District News as a winning submission in the PDN Photobook NYC Contest. All winning images will be included in an upcoming book to be published by PDN.
This particular shot was taken in Tines Square during a rainy and dreary Thursday afternoon. I particularly like the little splashes of bright color.

Narcissister!!! © Leland Bobbé
I’m very pleased to announce that my “Neo-Burlesque” Book Proposal just won a first place People’s Choice Award in the 2010 PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris in the book category. This is Narcissister!!! one of the most recent portraits from my project.
A quote from Narcissister!!!:
“I really love to confront issues through my work that are much broader than what I personally might have experienced. I bring aspects of myself, my history, my ethnic background and myself to the work. I try to portray different characters in the way an actor might. I really want to speak about universal issues for women and I feel the mask is a neutral face that enables me to be much more universal.”
