17 minutes~


17 minutes is a homepage based on streetphotography - categorized into people, places, signage and pictures with stories.

-What the photographer says-


I'm just an ordinary guy with a camera or two who likes people. The aim of this site is, foremost, to display my work to a wider audience than my family and friends. I hope that the images make an impression, to make us more aware of our surroundings and the people in it.

Many of the people I photograph are marginalised by society, often by dint of their own chosen lifestyle or perhaps just by unfortunate circumstance of life or birth. I hold no pretensions of hoping to change society on a large scale through my work. Don McCullin, a far better photographer than I could ever hope to be, openly accepted his own failure in that sense.

However, I believe that if I can influence just ONE person to stop and look again at a lonely soul on the street and perhaps throw a few coins in their hat, or just to smile and say "Hello", then it will all be worth while.


some photos that really impressed me
