This is an amazing project of a guy who took 100K photos in a year in a single street in Philly where he lives. The photos are amazing and really captures the soul of his neighborhood. I decided to put it here instead of in Urban Life as it is largely portraits and belongs in People, I think.


Can a creative project change your life? Photographer Sami Aziz (Instagram: @southstreetsam) discovered that it can. Armed with his camera and a lot of determination, he embarked on a project to shoot portraits every day for an entire year, capturing images of more than 100,000 people along a single iconic street in his hometown of Philadelphia.

It was a journey of exploration and discovery for Aziz. His presence on South Street became a source of positive energy for the city of Philadelphia, strengthened his own ties to the community, and helped him find a path to becoming a full-time photographer.
