Saint John 2013
I waited a long time for someone to cross the street without a car or a truck in the way. In the end, I think I lost the best light, but I like something happening in that space.
edit to add: I’m told from my west side history contact the camera location is probably called Courtney Hill. I named it Duke Street Rock in case anyone is wondering where that came from.

Returned uptown on a rainy night.
I’m interested in the space between moments. I like the door that’s partially open in the below photograph, and the moment of a bus stopping to pick up a passenger in the above. I think that’s part of why I like dawn and dusk light so much as well — it always feels like that moment between moments, part anticipation and part boredom.

I’ve passed by this Main Street West icon probably, conservatively, 2500-3000 times since moving to the west side, and often think I should stop and get a photo. Finally did it.
The New York City Department of Records has made public an archive of over 800,000 of it’s images. Everything from city icons under construction to police photos from gang killings. Pretty incredible.

If no one with a little bias documents these streets, the people of the future will only have whatever the Google car didn’t blur beyond recognition.

“Home” he said.
I smiled.
“Mom”.
He pointed to the flowers.
And then he walked on up the hill.

Where residential pushes right up against the industrial.

I wonder what they sell.
From Queen Street West, Saint John 2013
I have a new photographer-crush on Gregory Crewdson after watching his documentary Brief Encounters (trailer). His methods couldn’t possibly more different than mine, but I respect his methods and results a great deal.
