Balancing Act (Newburgh), 2010I've been wanting to shoot a photo related to the Balancing Act series in Newburgh for some time now. It turned out to be a little harder then I thought. If anyone's been to the scarier parts of Newburgh you'd understand. What I liked about this particular wall was the color and the crossed out gang graffiti. It was a nice contrast to the red dice that I had with me. There was a another wall that was interesting as well. It had a "RIP" piece on it, but it was too risky to photograph. There were too many guys hanging out near it giving me the stare down. Might have been a drug spot. As you can see from the type of graffiti on this wall, Newburgh has a major problem with gang violence. Glad it went well and that I wasn't mistaken for someone else.
