| The photographs in this collection were made during the summers of 2002 and 2003 in the Bathgate section of the Bronx. My goal was to capture the essence of Bathgate’s children under the hot summer sun. | Many of the photographs emerged from casual encounters on the street. I often simply drove through the neighborhood, got out of my car, and began to photograph the children. | They led me on a marvelous journey through sprinklers, down alleys, over fences, into clubhouses, onto stoops, and into their hearts. The series is made into a handmade foldout book with Xerox transfers and digital colorizing. |
