Andrew Kochanowski  is a street photographer based in suburban Detroit. He photographs candid, un-staged scenes, looking for what he calls the indecisive moment. Kochanowski says his role as a street photographer is to help create a photograph out of nothing at all. This unreal reality appears in front of the artist sometimes only for a split second.
