Storytelling in our Immigrant City
 
"Its essence is intricacy of sidewalk use, bringing with it a constant succession of eyes. This order is all composed of movement and change, and although it is life, not art, we may fancifully call it the art form of the city... The ballet of the good city sidewalk never repeats itself from place to place, and in any once place is always replete with new improvisations." ― Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities

  • These photographs are part of a 7-year project that just finished called 100 Greene Street. You can view the entire project in my Instagram link. About the project: 100 Greene Street takes us down the luxurious entirety of Greene Street, SoHo, one of the most expensive streets in NY, in 100 photographs from 2013 to 2019, starting at the north end from Houston Street and ending five blocks away on Canal Street. On the corner of Prince and Greene, one block south of Houston, a flagship Louis Vuitton store sits, while at the southern end, on Canal, hawkers repeat ‘Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Rolex’ hundreds of times daily. Greene Street is sleepy on weekdays and crazy on weekends, and if you wait long enough you are guaranteed to see something fascinating, unique, weird, rich, beautiful, sad, or ridden with anxiety - or hopefully something with many of these characteristics. At the time of this writing, there are two Dior storefronts and a third moving in. To list all the luxury brands that reside here would waste our time – there are just too many. Over the last six years, I’ve seen these brands dance along the streets and move from storefront to storefront. And while I rarely see anyone entering them, it’s clear that enough do. Halfway between Houston and Prince lies a bright white Dior Storefront, which is coincidentally the first image in this book. This is 133 Greene Street, the site of which has become a symbol of the change that has occurred throughout this neighborhood and street. 133 Greene was the site of a wealthy residence in 1850, a brothel in 1859, a cast-iron garment factory built with the height of building technology during the garment boom of the 1890s to 1910s (the current form of the building), a slum starting around the years of the Great Depression, a gallery during the 1980s, and ever since a luxury storefront with wealthy multi-million-dollar high-ceiling old-factory apartments above. #soho #greenestreet #capturestreets #everybodystreet #ourstreets #streetphotography
