Description
A Jewish gentleman crosses the street in the enclave of Williamsburg, one of America's most well known Jewish communities. Williamsburg is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, bordered by Greenpoint to the north, Bedford–Stuyvesant to the south, Bushwick and East Williamsburg to the east, and the East River to the west. As of the 2020 United States census, the neighborhood's population is 151,308. Since the late 1990s, Williamsburg has undergone significant gentrification characterized by a contemporary art scene, hipster culture, and vibrant nightlife that has projected its image internationally as a "Little Berlin. During the early 2000's, the neighborhood became a center for indie rock and electroclash. Numerous ethnic groups inhabit enclaves within the neighborhood, including Italians, Jews, Hispanics, Poles, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans. When traveling, I love to capture street scenes or vignettes of the places I visit that tell a story of the area. Often very simple in composition, street photography should put the viewer of the image right there at that specific place and time.
