The above photograph is probably in some part responsible for motivating me to write about Greenpoint. Like most things in my life, it was an accident. I had shot a roll of film, then 9/11 happened. Not having the means to buy more film I rewound it, thus creating this double exposure of life on Manhattan Avenue juxtaposed with Manhattan going black.
I do not want to suggest that this photo set is dark. It isn’t. The Garden Spot of the Universe and the people who live here are resilient and vibrant. But it does make one wonder about how things have changed since these photographs were taken.
My favorite is this one, lest you are wondering.

P.S.: While I am on the subject of streets and art I found something interesting next to the entrance at La Marqueta this afternoon.
If this is your sort of thing (and you know who you are), go to Moore Street just west of Humboldt. Your dream girl awaits!
