In my recent project, RedHook, I find a post industrial part of New York City where the story is in the quiet details.
In my photography, I am interested in discovering beauty away from traditional aesthetics. I try not to embellish of glorify what I see, but rather to keep it free of
artifice.
In my pictures, the vertical line replaces what is missing in the neighborhood. The tall buildings and the trees have all been stripped from the environment. Where is the strength and dignity in this neighborhood? We see them in gates and lamp posts and fences.
