@boris

I think you’re photoshoped… I can tell from your limited assumtions.

They’re animated gifs collated from a series of still shots.
Painted over again and again for each shot.
Its called stop motion animation… look it up you might actually learn something.

seriously.. its not “that” hard to figure out.

Such a shame that the NY subway seems to be run by graffiti artists, some who are talented, yet others who only seem to display an empty void. When your public transport system is so fouled up it is worrying, as one pic shows a couple with a terrified look on their faces, how sad, it is their transport system as well as the crack heads, and they dont waste money on cans of aerosol paint they have to work to live.

@stroydnaire you need to read @Scott’s post – there was nothing cool ‘live’ about the 70s and 80s in NYC. It was some serious s**t…..I guess violence and the like are always more entertaining when in a hip-hop tune or in some ‘vintage’ imagery…..be lucky you didn’t live in NYC during those times you f**ing twat…..

While the photographs are beautiful, romanticizing 80’s era MTA is absurd. The system was a nightmare. “Organic?” “Authentic?” Yeah, a great place to get organically, authentically mugged, raped, or murdered.

Comment on We Are All Workers – an intimate portrait of Braddock, PA by Tim

Tim — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 14:16:25 +0000

Hi,

Interesting series. I’ve been fascinated by Braddock since I came across an article in someone’s blog from a magazine called People’s Weekly World, which gave a pretty good breakdown of the area’s history and the story of Mayor John Fetterman. I put up a blog post of my own sometime later with as many decent links as I can find. You can read it here, if you’re interested: http://cityofstrangers.wordpress.com/features/braddock-pa/

I grew up in a town in northern Canada which is now 98% abandoned (uranium city, sask) so I guess that is part of my interest. That, and living in semi-abandoned urban areas most of my adult life, including, way back when, here in Brooklyn. But it is an intriguing story and I wonder how things will play out, for the Mayor, the artists – and the people who lived there before all this started happening.

A couple of quibbles. Beautifully shot and everything, but at this point – I just finished episode 5 – there seem to be an absence of black people. That’s not a minor absence since Braddock is like what – 80% black? Also, it’s great Levis is doing the series, fantastic that they’ve helped pay to restore the church/ community center – but last I heard they were making their jeans in China. Which is part of why we have Braddock and towns like it.

But hey, I’m glad someone’s paying attention and pouring money into a worthwhile project. Hopefully I can pay a visit the next few months . . .

Love your site btw.

A bit extreme. I used the NYC Subway all through 70s-90s and it wasn’t like this. As a 5th grader I rode on the train with friends (same age) the length of Manhattan and nothing ever happened. I think that the couple photo and the guy with the gun are setup.

@art: Alien Sax Player was funny. He disappeared during the 90’s
