Personal Statement
My fellowship gave me the opportunity to photograph a part of New York
City that I found fascinating while also
collaborating with the Design Trust, which added structure and certainty that my previous
documentary projects have lacked. Working with the Design Trust staff to create a shooting schedule, plan for image reviews and organize the exhibition gave my fellowship project a clearly defined purpose. With such specific goals in place, I was able to focus my attention on making photographs that added to the Photo Urbanism series.
