For Colored Nerds

Physical manifestations of the conversations black people have

when white people are not in the room. 

East New York - Fire.

"She's been in that house since I was a kid man".

Fire raged on my block in East New York, as neighbors watched and mused about the history of the block.

NYC Dog Owners (In Progress Project)

This week's series is a work in progress, exploring the relationship between NYC Dog owners and their pets. The question is who's in charge?

Theme Of The Week: 'Murica (5-15-16)

in ,

The Black White & Grey

United States Of America. Here, the American flag is ubiquitous. It flaps over us in offices. It's plastered on the backs of our trucks. It's draped over our bodies. So how does personal patriotism live in this constant inundation of American imagery? This week, while stripping away the color, we will explore how the Stars and Stripes manifest themselves in our daily lives.

In the comments, tell me what you think about the flag? Do you feel like it is everywhere? What does it mean to you? How do you feel about it?

Solitude.

At any given moment, there are millions of people inhabiting some space that's called New York City. How is it then, that so many of these people are alone? 

Since last week we looked at the inter connections of people in the hustle and bustle in the city, it is only fitting explore the flip side.

When surrounded by millions, is being alone a necessary reprieve, or an unfortunate side affect?

New York, NY,

The Love.

Joy.

Struggle. 

Pain. Bond.

Support.

The Family.

 

I hope you enjoyed this week's moments of interpersonal connections in NYC. A chance to highlight some of the little moments showing people not always being alone in this individual, gotta get mines, concrete jungle.
