Inspired by sentimental photojournalism and theater of the absurd existentialism, this selection from A Wandering Camera documents “images of human activity” in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn. The photographer is Greenpoint artist Nathan H. Ellis, who is also the lead practitioner of Hours By Appointment, a private cognitive therapy practice helping local residents. This exhibit foreshadows future work that will include a crossover between his work in psychology and photojournalism.
