I never cease to be amazed by the beautiful little accidents you see every single day in New York. No matter how decrepit it gets, there is always a gem tucked in the ripped paper, flying garbage, broken windows and the summer’s best feature – the bubblegum stuck to the sidewalks. When my niece left New York at the age of 5, I made her a little photo book called “Beautiful Garbage” so she wouldn’t get homesick. She still flips through it 5 years later to reminisce about the times we spent looking for shapes in the mess of our neighborhood. She asks for updates on the bubblegum situation and I provide her with my latest snaps. You see, she lives where it’s clean and everyone needs a little garbage to seek out the magic.
