Street photographer mainly, occasional shooter of passing birds, park benches and other defenseless objects. But for me cameras were made to photograph people. Call it street photography, call it people watching, candid portraiture, whatever---, for me the joy in the act of people photography is the anticipation of the unexpected, suddenly encountering that beautiful little flower of reality that is blossoming just for me. I enjoy the challenge of trying to prise art from the seething, roaring, shouting masses around us, finding the juxtapositions and the places where the light is magical, capturing the brief moments of beauty, intrigue and provocation.

"Kyle's photos continue to draw me time and time and time again. Work pleads with us to re-examine those "ordinary" moments that are normally lost amid the hustle and bustle and realize there are no ordinary momments at all. His work reminds me to look at the world in such a different way, to enjoy those fleeting momments of "ordinary" and relish them. I am deeply inspired by Kyle's style and competence with a camera."

The Tattered Coat says:
"Kyle's camera freezes random moments on the street and abstracts them into complex narratives. In his compositions are stories that could fill a thousand words or a thousand pages. He is one of the finest street photographers I have encountered on flickr; I feel privileged to see the world through his lens."
