I've recently been wandering around New Brunswick taking pictures with my 35mm. New Brunswick is kind of enigmatic to me- almost like a twilight zone. (I could probably say that about any place after living there for a while.) New Brunswick is a college town, it's the "Healthcare City", it's close to New York, it's known as Little Mexico in some parts, other parts are "shady"...there is really no definition for it. (Again, you could probably say that about anywhere if you really got to know it). These photos are taken mostly around French Street-an area that a lot of students don't frequent-where the separation of class/culture in our community is made clear. I'm kind of interested in documenting the different sides of certain overlooked parts of New Brunswick in a photojournalistic way, but I also enjoy making images using just the streets and light/shadows and overgrown land plots as my subjects. I'm going to stick with color film; its printing process and the resulting image are much for appealing for me than that of black and white.
This last image interests me a lot- it was the first image made on the roll of film where the light seeped in...I don't know where or when it was exposed- it's just an accidental image that happens to have been made using a camera.
