Once upon a time, there was a place in Brooklyn called Greenpoint that had yet to be fully colonized by Manhattanites. And I was introduced to a painter who lived there who took me on a tour of some secret places along the waterfront. This was one such place.
It is a burnt-out garage, that had been taken over by a homeless artist and redecorated. The homeless artist had disappeared by then, but his work remained.
a man photographed the place with his Mamiya 6 (a medium format film camera) and after having the image on my site for a while, saw that it was too spooky, and that people looking to buy nice things for the living room would be flipping through images and as soon as they came to this one - left en masse. So he removed it.
Nevertheless, it continues to fascinate me. It's just so strange. And yes, so scary. So the man won't put it into my store for fear of driving away potential customers - but someday - when he have my big exhibit - this is a print that I'd do nice and big and have along side my more popular prints. In the meantime, I'll post it here where it will quickly disappear into the river of images - much like the mad artist may have done.
Have a good weekend everyone.
