International Reporting

Story #3

Hello!

For my last assignment, I decided to put together a photo essay exploring the traces of the Polish community in Greenpoint. Because there is not a lot of space on the class blog, I decided to put it together on Imgur.

There’s still a few edits I am going to make, but here’s a link that will allow everyone to access it: http://imgur.com/a/9VIue

You will be able to see live updates of my changes.

Here’s the description of the photo essay, taken from Imgur:

“This photo essay documents the disappearing traces of the Polish community leaving in Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s northernmost neighborhood. Once known for its vibrant Polish community, Greenpoint is slowing giving in to gentrification. Still, Polish businesses and some Polish immigrants remain in the area.”
