On one of the days while I was home, my mother took me to take photos of Buffalo’s East Side. In case anybody is wondering why on earth I’ve suddenly started taking a ridiculous amount of photos…. I’ve been amassing a collection of Buffalo-centric photos for a series of photomontages I’ll be displaying at a gallery this October. I plan on writing more about that soon, but if you want slightly more information, check out the gallery’s website.

Because the East Side is arguably one of the dodgiest areas in the city, my mother drove slowly through the streets so I could stop her when needed, scurry out of the car, take a photo, and get back in. The area is really quite romantic in a way. It has some really great old cottages and small, tree-lined brick streets. It’s a shame that it has sunk so deep into poverty, because with a little fixing up, it could be even more amazing than it already is.
