"Fragments of Gotham" is a collection of 55 street photos that serve as an ode to an older, grittier NYC; a city once plagued by crime, corruption and danger...a real-life Gotham City. Taking inspiration from neo-noir films along with titles like "The Dark Knight" and "Joker," it’s no secret that I’m attracted to darker subject matter, often photographing at night in inclement weather and areas with graffiti-riddled walls.

This collection portrays a wide spectrum of my vision of Gotham, ranging from fleeting moments that tell a larger story, to mundane details that interest me, such as defaced pay phones, neon signs, or simply trash on the ground. These photographs are the pieces that make up the dark, surrealist puzzle of Gotham in my eyes. In a city that is constantly changing and losing character ever so quickly, documenting these details and preserving them on the blockchain operates as a time capsule — one which will only increase in meaning over time.
