A cup of Joe's NYC.

I've featured Joe Holmes' photos on my site for several years now. I love his work and always find it to be so fantastic. Joe is NYC based and you can tell that he takes pride in capturing New York at its gritty best. I've pulled a few shots from his site that I really like and wanted to share. You can see more for yourself by clicking to Joe's site HERE. Enjoy.

A little Joe for the soul...

One of my favorite New York photographers, as many of my readers know, is Joe Holmes. I find his work so special and so engaging. His photographs are the places he travels but mostly they consist of his home, New York City and the surrounding burroughs. I was checking out his site, joesnyc.streetnine.com, today and found a few really lovely shots that I wanted to share. His work is always so spot on. The way he captures what I like to call "slices of life" is so amazing. Check them out below and be sure to visit his site to see all of his work. It's brilliant. xx.

Joe shoots New York...

I have featured Joe Homles' amazing pictures on my site many times. I love New York and I love the way Joe captures it time and time again. New York is rich with color and life and that is always highlighted smoothly in each of his shots. Each photo captures a slice of life that I adore in good photography. Each picture tells a story that is alive in New York right outside my door. Kudos Joe - again and again. You can check out his site here - joesnyc.streetnine.com

The color of Joe.

I love New York. I love photos of this city. I love living in this city. I love Joe Holmes' photos of this amazing city. I've featured Joe's work on my site several times because I always love his perspective. He truly captures the city as it is - full of color, emotion, spirit and life. A few of my new faves are below. Check out more of his photos HERE. They are always lovely. xxo.

A Summer of Joe.

It's been since late Spring that I featured Joe Holmes' photos on my site. I recently visited his site to see what new photos he had snapped and whenever I do it's like Christmas. I love Joe's photos so much. They are so strikingly vibrant and interesting. In New York, there can be such beauty and such filth all within feet from the other. Joe captures what could easily be overlooked and shines a new light on it. I implore you to check out his huge range of photos at his site joesnyc.streetnine.com. They are so lovely. A few of my favorites are below. It's tough to only choose a few! xox.

Reflections of the city.

If you are a reader of this site you know that I have featured the smashing photos of Joe Holmes numerous times. I think they are so freaking fantastic. Joe always has his camera pointed directly at NYC and its surrounding boroughs and that is ok by me. In my opinion, New York is one of the most fascinating places to capture on film. It has such depth and grit and beauty. Joe is a master at capturing New York just the way it is. On a recent visit to Joe's site (VISIT IT NOW!) I found a few shots that I wanted to share. They can be found below. Enjoy and again, thanks Joe. xo.

 

A lil' Joe for the eyes.

It has been a while since I've featured Joe Holmes' photos on my site. I'm such a big fan of his work. He captures the intricacies of New York like no one else. A few of my new faves are below. Be sure to visit his site!

Through the eyes of Joe...

As always, Joe Holmes' photos come across with such richness. They capture New York brilliantly - the color, the grit, the beauty, the uniqueness. I've featured his work here before and it never ever gets old. Enjoy. xox.

Flashed in NYC.

I have featured Joe Holmes' photos on my site several times. I always love his photos because they are of my favorite place on earth, NYC. Joe's photos are always spot on and capture NYC just the way it always is - sinful, obscure, varied, colorful, dismal, sexy, dirty, religious - a myriad of contradictions. The following are few shots, out of his gigantic collection, that caught my eye on my most recent trip to his site. Check them all out at your leisure at the following site - joesnyc.streetnine.com.

Joe Knows NYC

Joe Holmes of Joe's NYC always captures such great shots of New York. I think that of all the various spots someone can photograph, New York is my favorite. There is such depth and detail within the most casual of photographs. I've said this time and time again but the way Joe captures just a slice of life is amazing - an image on a train platform, a view up a long street - he captures New York for what it is - raw. Be sure to check out his site to see all his work but a few shots can be found below. xo.

NYC captured

I wanted to share a few more photos from the very talented Joseph O. Holmes. Joe's site - joesnyc.streetnine.com has become one of my photographic favorites. He is constantly updating his site with his incredible work. I've already talked about Joe's site about zillion times but I can't help it - I love it. He is brilliant at capturing New York like no one else. As with RJH, nothing seems staged with him. It is what it is just because it is. Be sure to visit his site and become as big of a fan as I am. xox.

Joe's eyes see NYC.

It's been quite a while since I have posted any pictures from Joe Holmes' although I frequent his site quite often. It's not to say that I don't think his work is continually awesome, it's just that some of his photos make me really take a second look more than others. I think Joe's photos are special for two specific reasons - two reasons that are most important to me - firstly, Joe's photos capture what I consider to be a slice of life. He is able to capture life as it is without it ever looking staged or artificial. The photos are thoughtless yet thoughtful - seemingly random but capturing depth. RJH seems to do the same thing with this photos. Joe also captures New York City is all it's gritty yet beautiful glory. I completely find NYC to be one of the most gorgeous (and at the same time, one of the most disgusting) places on earth. There is nothing like walking home on a cold morning at 6am while side stepping some sad stranger's throw up on the side walk along with varied bottles, cans and remnants of a wild night sitting sadly at your foot while one of the most spectacular beams of sun light stream just above the jagged buildings of New York displaying the most beautiful orange light you have ever seen. There is beauty in places, times and scenes that are never expected but always welcomed. I love Joe's photos (and RJH's) for always getting that SO right. xx. oo.

Another photo...1000 words

I really do love the photos this guy takes. This is another photo from Joe Holmes. His photos can be found at joesnyc.streetnine.com I used to run past this bridge every morning on my jog and it was one of those moments when I fell back in love with this beautiful city. I used to run each day and on my runs I'd have so much time to think. I'd often think how lucky I was that I had moved to such an incredible place, a place that takes my breath away at times. I’d revel in the fact that I moved to such a fascinating place with such fascinating people. A place where at any moment you could turn a corner and *BAM* a picturesque site. Joe nails it so many times. I love New York. I love great photos of this place. I love the friends that I have here that are just as beautiful as a photograph and worth just as many words.

West 29th

There is a site that I really really love and I think you will too. I'm a huge photography fan. I wouldn’t say that I’m at all educated in my appreciation for photography. I just know I like what I like. My Boyfriend R. takes amazing photos and I think he has helped me to have a better eye for a good photograph. His mother is an amazing photographer as well. I will see about getting some of their photos on here in the near future. Anyway – that site - www.joesnyc.streetnine.com The artist name is Joseph O. Holmes. I absolutely love how he just captures interesting and beautiful moments, people, places, colors, obscure places in New York. His prints are for sale. I sadly cannot afford them but I can appreciate them online. Check out the site at your leisure. Below is one that I really love. He usually names them as the date and the location he took the shot. This one is called “september 19, 2006 - west twenty-ninth street”. I’m a fan. Hope you will be, too.
