  Photos by Enzo D. says:

  "I've never been to New York City and my idea of this city was based inevitably on Woody Allen’s “Manhattan”. Since I follow John’s photostream, my representation of New York has changed through his photos.
  
  Through his camera, the formless crowd that he encounters every day becomes something interesting, people turn into actors, expressions, colors and lights catch our eye.
  
  
  In John's photography, it all makes sense and you can realize it even more by reading his blog "Street Observation". He is able to stop the moments of everyday life with grace and discretion, slowing the rapid flow of life in New York and giving us the opportunity to watch with him small and meaningful moments that would otherwise be lost."

  "People who are lucky or unlucky enough to know me in person also know that if there's one city in the whole world I 'm absolutely obsessed with it's NYC!
  As I grow older and older, big cities don't do it for me any more - but not New York... New York still does it for me and always will! It's a city full of life, a refreshing, rejuvenating experience in itself, and John Fraissinet has been steadily capturing the essence of NYC life in his pictures. The very soul of the city that never sleeps, regardless of seasons and regardless of the time of day, is right there: in these pictures that John is generous enough to share with us on a regular basis!
  After all, a place - a city, an island, a village - is mostly its people, the way they live their everyday lives, the way they walk around, their smile or the stress reflected in their eyes, a gesture here and there, a look, a pose, an attitude at the restaurant, at the theater, at the bus stop.
  When we visit a place, this is what stays with us forever afterwards: the people! And John's pictures are full of people, New York people... His pictures come alive with the people in them - or is it that people come alive in John's pictures?
  In a few words, if you can't be in New York or if you can't visit the city, visiting John's photostream is quite possibly the next best thing! I should know: that's what I do, until my next trip!
  Thank you, John!"
