RODNEY STREET COMES DOWN

In September, Central New York magazine featured my work in an article about the TONY exhibit in Syracuse. The magazine’s photographer visited me in Buffalo and we went over to Rodney Street to shoot my assemblage with the reality right behind me. The other day as I drove down Rodney Street, I saw the bulldozers in action, quickly taking down three houses down in a row. I didn’t feel any sentiment for these places. The structures were so dangerous and such an attractive nuisance for the kids in the area. Better three lots of grass next spring. More hopeful for the neighborhood.
