My Sound Walk- 42nd Street!

At first it sounds like the ocean, but it's surrounded by concrete. Or maybe a swarm of bees. Floods of people in swift motion, their feet in movement sounds like the rubbing of paper together. Voices giving instruction over an intercom, very Loud might I add. As I move towards the crowds I hear people engaged in various conversations, I hear different languages, some I don't even understand. Wind blowing rapidly, so fast it makes a whistling sound. Tooting horns from vehicles, doors squeaking as they open, wind gushingly caressing my face as I enter... Grand Central Station!

"Passion Changes Everything"

I started off by just loving people, accepting them for who and what they truly are. The melting pot of ethnicities, better known as the Island of Jamaica where I was born and raised, witnessing people of all statures and decrees overcome the struggles of a poverty stricken society and push positively forward, in my eye, that’s what Passion is. At an early age I grew a great deal of admiration for Oprah Winfrey, her unique style of interviewing, her witty way of using her nurturing aura to attain information that what to many may seem impossible while remaining genuine, leaves me compelled to dig deep into showcasing people's personal drive and motivations. Finding out what gives them the burning urge to surpass what was ever predicted/ expected (of them) in order to achieve their human peak, capturing splashes of color, Accented by Culture, documenting the thrilling and pure imperfections that truly make up the beauty in life, will be, the classic essence of my work. - Ajhani Ayres
