“Walk On By” is the first song I wrote. As the inspiration for my song, I present to you some of the people I encountered, walking the streets of Miami, medium format camera in hand. All names are real. It’s amazing how much people are hungering to share about their lives if someone is willing to listen. Please enjoy my graduate photography thesis project, “Scratch the Surface,” to the tune of my song, “Walk On By.” (My urban landscape photos included in the video are primarily of the RiNo District, Denver, CO 2007.)
