Travis Rooze: Portrait of Jamaica Bay April 4, 2007

This exhibition features photographs taken over the course of a single year in the area surrounding Jamaica Bay, Queens. In 2006, photographer Travis Roozee has documented the bay's dramatic landscape and the historic communities that arose to harvest its natural resources. Focusing on the local residents, traces of the area's past, and the seasons' cyclical beauty, Travis Roozee has produced a photographic portrait of a little-known yet distinctive New York City community.
