This Photo is the beginning of a series of street scenes. I have been interest in the urban landscape for some time, I didn’t know how to approach it, so I just went out shooting. Then while editing, I notice somethings that caught my eye. I noticed the Check Cashing businesses, the Police presents on the corner. Our Mayor Wayne Smith of Irvington, New Jersey has a concern for bringing down the crime rate in our community and it can be seen in the imagery with the Police booth at the corner in Irvington. The check cashing business also seems to be a pretty profitable business in low income communities. I have noticed other imagery that’s are urban visual experiences which I will try to explore in my photographs in this category.
Thank you for sharing your images with us all. As for this series, I can’t wait to see more!
I love this series. It is necessary to document the cities, they change so quickly. I was thinking about Newark– that in all the recent developments some neighborhoods may lose some of their uniqueness. So I’d better be out there catchin’ it before it goes–right after the snow.
Thanks
