In street photography, being there is everything.
The photographer had to be there—patient, observant, ready. The subjects had to be there—simply themselves, creating small theaters of everyday life. And now you’re here too, experiencing the serendipity, the unexpected encounters, the beautiful absurdity of human existence.
From a would-be used car salesman hanging out of his home window in San Francisco, to a sunbather in skimpy man-drawers in Paris, animal print lovers in Virginia Beach, or the proudest SPAM shepherd at the Great America theme park you ever did see, there’s a lot to take in.
These portraits don't just document the characters Yameen meets and observes (and what a kaleidoscope they are) — they make you a witness to their stories, a participant in their colorful, fleeting moments of being.
You know what they say: You had to be there, and Yameen's so glad you're here.
