David Horvitz brings his camera with him whenever he goes. Sometimes he has a destination, sometimes his Internet audience will ask him to go somewhere - and sometimes he just wanders. David Horvitz isn't sure if he finds his photos or if his photos find him.

Produced by Benjamen Walker and Andrea Silenzi for WNYC Culture

  • It's funny reading the comments of all these uncultured idiots. It's almost as enjoyable as the video. I don't take these types of photographs, but I am a photographer, and I get the fine art appeal of finding interest in the ordinary. Look at photographers like Jeff Mermelstein or William Eggelston, or other artists like Duchamp. When you say "I don't get this, it's crap," you're telling everyone else how little you understand. You sound dumb. Take an art appreciation class or something.

  • Exceptionally simple and outstandingly artistic. This shows a real talent for SP, also shows you don't really need to carry 50 lbs of heavy photographic equipment, meant for professionals while you are only an amateur HAVING FUN PHOTOGRAPHING whatever calls your attention.

    Very good and encouraging,

  • some people hate that... i don't :-)

  • shucks i give all the credit for just using that old style camera.... but seriously every one has a gift and through photography it gives each one of us the independent expression to do so........ i had to learn that from my wife who always stressed that not every photographer is the same simple as that!

  • Horrible photographer

  • he is a total snapshot photographer, not my taste but i can see the artistic value of his photos. I think everyone having a camera simply means more artist by chance.

    I mean chance art. blame the lomo hipster craze but I see raw artistic value in these photos. I prefer sharp interesting photos and subjects that tell years of stories. these photos to me are like billboards we see while we drive. cool for the moment and then quickly forgotten. just my opinion.

    

  • those who can take photographs. those who can't, critisise. It's that simple

  • it's a shame that image quality isn't a high priority for this photographer, the images that arn't full of interesting narrative won't be successful when ignoring formal variations.

  • @sajko1337

    this comment is a perfect example of what hes talking about

  • @vidyagaemer350 Well, thats just like your opinion, man.

  • This guy is an asspie, and I think he has no talent. He just takes pictures of everything which catches his eye for a second and hopes they come out interesting.

  • I find more joy looking through a stranger's family album and holiday snapshots.
