Every city is divided into neighborhoods, sometimes for economic reasons, and sometimes for issues relating to race or income. The following photograph shows a neighborhood different from the city it belongs to. There’s no clear line that separates it from it’s better half. Some say it’s divided by a set of railroad tracks. Some say it begins in an alley way between Kentucky and Adams st. Wherever it begins and whatever it may be called, I know it as my backyard. This is one photograph that represents a collection I put together for my capstone photojournalism class. It aims to give viewers a glimpse into the neighborhood and it’s inhabitants.
