Greenwich St, 8/8/15

Traditionally begging is cool in Tribeca. Homeless people are part of the neighborhood. They sleep in regular places in the streets. Unharrassed. It's becoming an uneasy balance now with more families in the mix than ever before.

The Jenga, West Broadway looking north, 8/12/15

56 Leonard St changed the skyline. Before there were such lofty climbers taking their dreams to new heights, there were poor struggling artists, living in harmony with honest workers. They took pride in their roots, sought to keep it simple.
