Lovers on the streets of New York

In his 30 years as a street photographer in New York City, Matt Weber has seen it all: the homeless, the brutality, the weirdness, and all the gritty details that give the Big Apple its character. But I also saw the “soft side” of New York, a city where people fall in love and couples are not shy about showing their feelings in public. Weber always tries to capture different emotions in his pictures. Often in a city like New York, it can only be feelings of anger and annoyance. But sometimes you can see something gentle, sweet, sublime. For example, love.
