On Monday, I went to photograph Journalist and typewriter enthusiast Robert Neuwirth at his tiny Lower east side office. I could barely fit with him in the room.

Robert has been traveling extensively around the globe working on the squatter movement and more recently on the rise of the informal economy. You can read the article here.

And watch his excellent TED talk here.

On a personal side note, I am very excited to start collaborating with the newly launched Ozy.com, and even more excited to continue working with photo-director Leslie Dela Vega who had previously hired me at Fast Company, and whose awesomeness knows no limits.

More portraits coming soon!
