“The rain during yesterday’s shoot with brought me to an incredible, never seen before scene, and a moment of inspiration.
I had seen an enormous street puddle accumulated by the rain 20 minutes earlier, and decided to go back to that puddle hoping to capture some children playing in the puddle, but instead i saw a very bizarre scene.
A young Hasidic man in the the puddle in his shoes and clothes digging in and out the water with a snow shovel upside down 😮
After first snapping a few shots I asked him if he lost something there??
“NO, I’m just trying to unclog the storm drain, so the old people can cross.”
I was completely shocked by his response.
For a person to get down and dirty, get his shoes and clothes soaking wet in the dirty water so that strangers can cross!
It was a true moment of inspiration..
I’m so glad i was there to document this so I can share it with you all.”
