23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
URBAN BLACKHOLE

Was trying to walk to work and encountered every block undergoing massive "construction"creating a miserable scenes of old buildings taken down while square blocks rising of blank concrete and glass.This photo is from a sidewalk where almost a block long construction protective matrix was erected and plastered with graffiti and posters and littered with waste and homeless and panhandlers.When edited the picture took it's own meaning like a black hole sucking city in it.
