Brooklyn Buzz cover image
The “Brooklyn Buzz” series presents an extended visual exploration of Brooklyn, New York, and its inhabitants viewed through the frame of a bus window. The initial project was conceived, developed, and realized in the summer of 2010 (May-September) as a symbolic, photographic portrait of America in this specific time in history, a time of transition and constant, if not relentless, transformation profoundly related to the post-2007 global economic downturn and its effects on society, politics, and culture. Yet, beneath all of these more abstract terms is the very real and very precise terms of day-to-day life in the late-modern metropolis and its effects on singular human beings.
