Nerdabout: the art and craft of technology

Random Flashes of Color: Street Photos

November 06, 2009

By Joanna Burgess

Martin Sobey, a NYC based photographer and artist, spends a lot of time walking the streets trying to find the perfect spot to place his work. Whether it stays up 10 minutes or 10 months doesn't much matter; Martin's main purpose it to fill up a crack in the sidewalk, a hole in the wall or an empty space looking for purpose. Using only a point and shoot camera and light manipulation, his photos, which he then turns into both sculptures and street art in his SoHo studio, have a 1980's ethereal air about them--bright, colorful, and sparkly.
