Proper Threshold

Back to a favorite theme, Providence and Central Falls, Rhode Island October 2009.

Atheism Fridays

Wars of Religion, circa 2009. Providence, Rhode Island.

Better Move That Car

If you really want to make it clear to people, paint it in funny child-like letters or go wild with the stencil. Or tell them to deploy their amazing mechanical appendages. Providence, Rhode Island October 2009.

One Year Later

Roger Williams Monument, Providence, Rhode Island October 2008 & October 2009.

We Love Central Falls Too

More shots from one of the most rundown parts of Rhode Island, the mills of Central Falls. October 2009.

We Love Providence

More shots from wandering around the East Side of Providence, Rhode Island. October 2009.

Central Falls Is No More

These images are from an area of Rhode Island, Central Falls, that is truly depressing. It is economically lost, the factories have all closed and there is a disturbing number of liquor stores in this relatively small area. It is full of interesting restaurants and has a great Dominican grocer, but its glory days are well behind it. These shots are from a few of the abandoned warehouse buildings that dot the town.

B&W Providence

These shots are from the first roll I shot with my Pentax MX, a replacement camera for my forgotten Pentax K1000. The light was especially beautiful that day and the images are very crisp because of it. Also interesting is the house in the middle is in the same state of repair as when I first photographed it in October 2008.

Rundown

Images from a worksite full of rubble. Providence, Rhode Island December 2008.

New Blog

If you have been following this site for any amount of time really, either casually or religiously, you should know about my girlfriend's site, Hop Top. It is a collection of her rather witty and always unique observations about living in South America, with some images provided by The Reef. She has recently moved back to England to fulfill the promise of her mid-Atlantic accent and has started an updated site called Hop Top Volume 2. I strongly suggest a look in as she gets it up and running.

Street Hieroglyphs

Percussion

Head banging, wall rapping, brick bashing drumming. Providence, Rhode Island October 2009.

Crumbling

Treeline Living

Floral landscapes and a bit of brick to balance it all out. Rhode Island, October 2009.
