Winter Hill #2
“Originally, I set out to make portraits of residents that I imagined remained from the days when Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang ran the streets. The portraits were uncomfortable, sarcastic and abrasive - reminiscent of Bruce Gilden’s street work. However, the less I felt like a stranger the more natural the photos became. As the project progressed over the year, I attempted to display the hill itself, pairing portraits with their surroundings to show the socioeconomic gradient that superimposes the slope of the Hill.”
