Walking the Sidewalks of NYC with Street Photographer Joe Wigfall

Joe Wigfall is a photo enthusiast and street photographer that won WNYC’s Street Shots Challenge back in 2008.

This is the same contest that created the behind-the-scenes video featuring Bruce Gilden that became pretty popular on YouTube. As you’ll see, Wigfall’s approach towards street photograph is quite different from Gilden’s get-up-in-your-face approach.

Joe Wigfall can see with his hands. Never lifting his camera to his eye, he shoots hundreds of photos during his lunch hour or walking to the train after work. A true artist, Joe brings a bit of himself into each of his photographs.

You can follow Wigfall’s work through his Flickr stream. Other interview videos are available through WNYC’s Street Shots page.
