Sep 26, 3, Hypes 0 Comments. Kith White Label 2. I want to be in the helicopter looking out, but I don't ever want to feel like [the] harness is holding me.

I want to be holding myself. It's like riding a roller coaster. BI : What was the craziest experience you've had while shooting? TM : One crazy time for sure was years ago. You familiar with the Hell's Gate Bridge? BI: Yeah, the train bridge connecting the Bronx and Queens. TM : I went there with a bunch of people and we climbed up onto the tracks and there's a high-speed train that [goes across it].

It's kind of a tricky spot when you get [up] there because you have about 10 or 15 minutes of walking before the tracks split up and you've got some room to go on each side. At the beginning its very narrow, and you're elevated on a bridge so you either have to jump off , or you have to hang on.

This one time, the train came and we had to jump off and hold on to the side. The train was passing by so fast I remember my eardrums pretty much popped. That was really scary only because I had friends of mine come [along] and one of them brought his girlfriend. I felt really guilty for that because we were all in big danger at that point. BI : Not a very good date for your friend. BI: I notice you don't write about the interactions you have with your subjects.

TM : I don't. I mean, I could. But the way I see it is , I'm not writing, I'm taking pictures. Sure, I could write something, but to me, a lot of times writing can take away from the photo.

I like to present the photo and let the viewer decide for themselves what they want it to be. BI : What question do you hate being asked in interviews? BI : So, what camera do you use? Nah, I'm just kidding.

What's your favorite lens? BI : Where do you get your inspiration from? TM : New York City itself, movies, music, kind of, you know, everything. When I see something, I can visualize it in my head [as a photo] like nine times out of I already kind of see the end result of what I really want — not just the framing, but the color tone and the mood of it.

So if I can't even visualize it, I won't really be that inclined to shoot it. BI : Your Instagram photos get thousands of "likes" and hundreds of comments — you obviously have a major presence on the platform. TM : Yeah, but it's been a major dip [in activity] recently. A year ago I was averaging maybe 30, likes per photo and getting comments per photo, and things have really changed.

I've had tons of conversations with friends of mine, peers, everybody like brands, all across the board everything is kind of going down right now.

I don't know if that's because Instagram got bought out by Facebook and they're changing their algorithms. So I mean something's happened in the last couple of years that has made the engagement go down.

But, the people are still there. BI : What do you plan on doing when you have a million followers? TM: I don't know. I mean fortunately or unfortunately I've got a little bit of time.

The problem really is that I'm not posting as frequently as I'd like to be right now, but I'm also trying to kind of pump the brakes a little bit and strategize. BI : How do you see the future of photography on the Internet? TM : I definitely see things taking a shift right now with people jumping from one app to another. Who knows, maybe there will be another app that will come out and dominate everything. I can see things becoming more and more accessible — or, it could go in the opposite direction.

Sometimes, I feel like the technology is moving too fast for people to digest and there's just an overload of content. Everything is kind of saturated [right now]. For you. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options.
