Artist statement
Brooklyn: Portrait of a Borough
The return to Brooklyn as subject matter pays homage to the place the artist was raised. Long walks through the neighborhoods provide the photographer opportunity to travel the world within one NYC borough. Direct and honest depictions of the diverse cultures and abundant street life confirm for the artist a vision that stresses commonality rather than differences.
Without a plan of what will and will not be included, one thing leads to another, with the photographer making choices as places and events unfold. Relevance can be found throughout: the faces, social scenes, store windows, boardwalk benches and walls of graffiti.
