. . . The 42nd Street–Bryant Park/Fifth Avenue station- Recent Showcase- "Life beneath the Ruins"

42nd Street–Bryant Park/Fifth Avenue is an express station on the IND Sixth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. It is located at the intersection of 5th Avenue, 6th Avenue and 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan. It is served by the B, D, F and M trains and by the <F> train during rush hour in the peak direction. Above the station are Bryant Park and the New York Public Library.

The street is known for its theaters, especially near the intersection with Broadway at Times Square, and as such is also the name of the region of the theater district (and, at times, the red-light district) near that intersection.

"Life beneath the Ruins" is a deep dive into the belly of the beast. The photographic tones with grey scale undertones bring visual clarity coupled with textural nuance allowing the adjacent fabric of humanity to breath and flourish given the florescence of recycled air. This is a very real personal collaboration, it comes with a price; fill your pockets with tokens, the ride is worth it!

Ray Bradbury said it best..."I like to watch people. Sometimes I ride the subway all day and look at them and listen to them. I just want to figure out who they are and what they want and where they're going."

"When you photograph a face, you photograph the soul behind it"
