Summary
For my photo essay, I will be covering the gentrification in Long Island City, specifically at Gantry State Park. In the past few years, there has been a spike in construction of residential apartment buildings and condos, as well as an upscale in restaurants and cafes. I will also interview people and ask what attracts them to the park, as well as get their opinion on the increasing construction in the area. As for the photos, I want to get good shots of construction happening around the park, as well as surrounding restaurants in their daily lunch services.
