What a fine essay on this topic. Best I've seen. You've really captured the context and the experience. The effectiveness of the black and white treatment is a great surprise.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mike. The wall paintings were shot in my former neighborhood in Long Island City, Queens, NY. It is only a couple blocks from PS1, an annex of the Museum of Modern Art which showcases emerging artists.
