urbanism

Broadway is a street in Brooklyn that I would have loved to shoot when I studied photo but could have been shot at in the process.

While in NY, I only really felt safe in Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Dumbo areas of Brooklyn while staying along the J line. I think I’m mostly on edge because of the shooting I saw at Utica, it really is an adjustment coming from Canada.

Going back to Broadway, I had a big interest in documenting city infrastructure, especially the decline of highways and elevated expressways. But before that, it was the rail lines that started this movement in urban development.

I always liked the idea of elevated roads lifting cars above the city like airplanes. With the subway, it seems like what was once a symbol of progress has become a place of decay and danger at night.

I’m so sorry ❤️‍🩹

It seems like people either have never had something happened to them or someone they know, or have and witnessed some terrible things

The area you were staying in was particularly rough. 😞 

A friend got stabbed to death over there a couple of years ago and someone tried to mug me there recently.

I stayed in Bushwick twice and really enjoyed it. Can't remember any weird situations there. Along Myrtle Ave, but also walked along Broadway couple times
