I’ve come back home to Buffalo until school starts to take photographs for an art show I’m having in October. For the last few days, I’ve been shooting more consistently than I have in years. I’m trying to create a mini collection of work that captures the feeling of growing up in my hometown. I wanted to capture the city streets, old houses, kids playing around, all that nostalgic stuff. These photoshoots are kind of bitter sweet because they might be the last that my sister and her friends do for me. In less than a week, they will all be off at college and on to bigger and better things. I’m frantically trying to fit in as much photographing as possible before they’re all too old and disinterested to model for me. For this shoot in particular, I told my sister that I would need a bunch of people and she took it upon herself to enlist a crop of brand new faces for the shoot. The photos were taken on Buffalo’s East Side.
