In the city …. everything comes out of the human gut.
It has the new and old, the beautiful, the ugly, the juxtaposition of it all.
You’re photographing people when you’re photographing a city.
It is an immensely human subject.
Berenice Abbott

As I think about key episodes in my life, it is location, where I’ve lived—my home, street, neighborhood, and city—that frames my past. Hudson Cantos is a collection of thematic portraits of Hudson, a small city in upstate New York. Under 6000 in population, two square miles in area, it is eminently walkable. My home for fifteen years, 2009 to 2024, I meandered—camera in hand—along its streets and alleys.

Each Canto, while thematically different, still manages to reflect what I love about Hudson—the diversity of the built environment and its multiplicity of class, culture, and identity.
