I thought I’d show you around the birthplace of the ‘hipster’, and my new home – Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
From these photographs you might think that i live in a slum or a ghetto, but I really don’t, it’s a vibrant and colourful place to live. Anyone from New York will tell you that Williamsburg is so pretentious trendy. And if you’re wearing the latest fashion when leaving your apartment, I guaranty by the time you walk across the road you’ll be out of fashion. In my case, I’ve never been in fashion so I kind of blend into the shadows.
I’ve decided to photograph it this way to show what our eyes would rather forget, that the mundane and forgettable views also have a beauty in them.
I particularly like the third one down – bleak!!!
