    Hey first of all all of these pictures are awesome and the sheer volume of interesting and unique photographs you took in one visit astounds me. Secondly you have an amazing eye for photography and often an extremely unique perspective. My favorite picture here was probably the one of the man with the leaf blower. Something about how he and the leaves both look locked in stasis despite their obvious motion is enchanting. However even more amazing than this is the expression on the man’s face. It is rather ambiguous, and I can’t tell whether its sadness, extreme indifference, or just exhaustion. Maybe its a mixture of all three, or something completely different, but I find trying to decode it extremely fascinating.

    Anyways, carry on with your cool photography, looking forward to future posts!

    You definitely have your own personal way of looking at things which you find around you. I would say its creation of something with the tools you posses and turning the every day, sad reality into a totally different prospective of looking at it. Very creative. I guess, you have to have a lot of patience and time doing it !!!

    Hi Jennifer. I like your gritty (makes sense for sneakers–we call them ‘runners’ in Australia) photos. Thanks for the like and the follow. Thought you might like a music video by a Brooklyn band called ‘Friends’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5VNumNJyqE. I have nothing to do with them but they recreate an urban ’80s feel that I think is cool (Hope link works, otherwise you could just Youtube it yourself).
