"The Other Side."

This image was taken this weekend in Queens, NY right out side of the infamous Citi Field. I took the photograph for my final project in our Digital 1 class.  I choose to photography paths/alleyways or anything course along which something travels on. The picture shows citi field from "The Other Side." The side noone really sees when they enter the ball park. I found this location extremely interesting especially because our government can spend millions of dollars building a ball park but can't come up with sufficient money to fix our roads. I was also amazed by how "poor" this part of queens was. I didnt dare to drive over 5MPH on these roads! The exhaust on my car scarped the street multiple times because of the uneven concrete. I dont know how people can operate a business under these conditions, its absouletly mind-boggling.


On to the image, I took the photograph around 10pm. I was EXTREMELY cold and windy saturday night BTW. I set up my tripod and took multiple images at different angles and perspectives. I forget how long the exposure was but it was most likely something like 15 seconds or so. I choose to photoshop and play around with this particular photo because it really shows the contrast between the two. Standing where I was in this picture really shows te viewers how close to citi field I was. I will most likely go back to get more images when the weathers a bit nicer. -NIVLEK
