1. Photographer Dima Gavrysh normally is off in exotic places such as Afghanistan, Chernobyl, or Uganda, but for this project he kept it close to home in New York City, where he came in early and left late at a local coffeehouse called Abraco, where he photographed one of the last great coffeehouses that treats their coffee with reverence, and the diversity of the customers that enjoy that coffee.
2. This happened because Dima Gavrysh wanted to go behind the scenes and highlight the inner workings of a classic coffee shop that practiced the old fashioned ways of producing their coffee.
3. He told this story because when he was spending time in this coffee shop that he would go to before this photo essay, and he recognized the atmosphere as "full of love", this captured his intrigue and decided to take an extensive look into the life of this little coffeehouse.
4. They make me feel at ease. I can picture myself sitting in the corner doing some work on my laptop with my fresh cup of joe watching the people pass by. The pictures give me a sense of vibrance and life, especially when I look at all the different people.
5. Absolutely, it wouldn't be a photo essay without them. The photos accompany the feelings Dima Gavrysh talks about and when you read about his feelings toward the experience, you can look at the photos and search for the evidence of the those feelings and the subjects of the photos that evoke those same emotions he felt when he captured the shot.
