Brooklyn: An Era Past
My camera work in the Brownsville and East New York communities foretold a lifelong involvement with the photographic medium. What I tried to express in those early photographs was an attempt to depict what I was experiencing, and how I felt about the images I was making. It was the beginning of a continued thread in future work. They became, in a way, the fingerprints of my style. Although I have pointed my camera in different directions over the years, these images still remain close to my heart, like one’s first love.
