Awakened by the stench present when the garbage truck stopped by my window, I decided to get up and go out into the night.
The buildings’ lights reflect colors on the freshly washed streets. Some people pass by in cars and on bicycles, others walking. Some still in a hurry at this hour while others are waiting for the sun to send them home.
As I lose and find myself in the city’s dark alleys all night long, I noticed a pattern of clusters . The locals congregate in open establishments that cater to the night walkers. Silently, patrons come and go. I wandered for hours then I stopped for a bite to eat and drink and smoked cigarettes.
Even though the city is resting from the heavy weight it carries during the day; life continuous on piercing the boundaries of darkness and brightness. Eagerly she provides for the scattered souls that roam at night.
At this time, street photography becomes edgy when glim promotes mystery.

Edge of Humanity Magazine Curator Services
Although photography alone can tell a good part of the story, there are other factors that artists often overlook.
During their search for the best light or the truth, photographers sweat in the heat and shrivel in the cold. They smell the stench and enjoy the aroma of flowers. They are welcomed and frowned upon. The experiences of being there and the desire to tell the story carried on by pride for their labor of love and expectations that when finalized, the work will be fair to the subject and make a difference, can be overwhelming.
A fresh eye is necessary to organize the delivery of that material, in a fashion that is easy to follow, and yet has impact, by holding the spectators’ attention to the message one wishes to convey. This is when a curator comes into place. Unattached, the curator selects images aiming to promote engagement and consequently readers’ awareness.
