Michael Qualy started out taking photos on the streets of New York City over a decade ago. When he first got his camera, he would walk the streets of the Burroughs, just taking photographs of anything that caught his eye. His great inspirators were of Bruce Gilden, Alfred Stieglitz, and Henri Cartier - Bresson. Later on, Michael discovered Ansel Adams and immediately fell in love with his landscapes.
We asked Michael questions, questions that could only be answered with images...

Where is home for you?
How would you describe your lifestyle?
What makes a great shot?
How do you view the world?
What is an important lesson you have learned?
