The Brooklyn Buzz series presents an extended visual exploration of Brooklyn and its inhabitants viewed from a bus window frame. The project was conceived as a symbolic photographic portrait of America in this specific time of history, a time of transition and constant transformation deeply affected by the global economic crisis and its consequences on society, politics and culture. Brooklyn Buzz is an original and intimate portrait that aims to capture the soul and powerful energy of Brooklyn. Riding local buses with the intention of capturing the essence of "the real thing" was a very rewarding although tough experience: local buses are crowded with children and elders, with a humanity rarely to be seen on the Manhattan centric subway trains.
