Eastern Hungary in 106 bus shelters, 2009

These images were shot in the winter of 2009 while tracing the course of the Tisza River in Eastern Hungary. Bus shelters dot the roadways in the towns and villages along the Tisza, which runs from the northernmost border of Hungary next to the Ukraine to the southern border of the country where the river spills into Serbia.

Re unifications, 2001

Re unifications is a suite of 10 - 30" x 40" archival ink jet prints housed in a portfolio box covered in German iris book cloth. Each print pairs an image from the Olympic Stadium, in what was once West Berlin with an image from the Jewish Cemetery at Weißensee, once in East Berlin.

9/11

This series of images represents one roll of film shot as the "North" Tower at the World Trade Center exploded and collapsed on September 11, 2001. The images were taken standing at the corner of Canal Street and West Broadway. One image in the sequence was part of the exhibition, The September 11 Photo Project, organized by Michael Feldschuh which opened at 26 Wooster Street in Soho on October 13th, 2001. It was reproduced in the book, The September 11 Photo Project, published by Harper Collins in May of 2002 and is part of the archive of images exhibited at Wooster Street that are now in the collection of the New York City Public Library. More recently, one still image was included in a documentary film by Brook Peters that premiered at the Tribeca Film festival in 2011.

Aftermath

These images were taken in New York City in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. I spent several days wandering around my neighborhood in Brooklyn. I walked across the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. I wandered around in Chinatown, Soho, and Union Square. I walked through several neighborhoods in Queens. On one of those aimless walks in Queens I walked into a fireman’s funeral. Two images taken at that funeral were a part of the ad hoc exhibition Here is New York; a democracy of photographs that began immediately after 9/11 at 116 Prince Street.
