My story idea is taking pictures of the San Gennaro feast in Little Italy which takes place from September 14 through September 24. Growing up in Brooklyn, especially in an historically Italian neighborhood, I have experienced related festivals such as the recent Santa Rosalia in Bensonhurst growing up. I this this is a good opportunity to document because it is something I have been familiar with and it is wonderful being able to document Italian culture and also the community that continues to thrive. I would love to take pictures of the scenery, foods, entertainment and the diverse amount of people who attend. Also highlighting the old-timers and younger generation of people coexisting together.
