A Portfolio Selection of 30 Photographs

I shot more than 16.000 photographs during my stay in New York City from the end of April 2005 to the middle of November 2005. In December I did sort of a "best of" selection. I selected 30 photographs out of those 16.000 which I printed for my portfolio.
I am using those photographs to introduce myself and my work to photo editors from different magazines and newspapers now.
