Bowery Day and Night is a street photography project that was created with the objective of capturing the street scene throughout the Bowery District in New York City; in one day; in one night. Post capture, the images were then, edited slightly (clean up/touch up) in Lightroom and printed/published as a magazine through Blurb.
The soft edged, blurred image capture was inspired by Daido Moriyama’s photography book, The World Through My Eyes, Skira, 2010.
The panel to the right was made to accompany the magazine(s) and is currently displayed at Kaleid Gallery, San Jose, CA to 1, June 2023.
Each photograph in the magazine has Valentino’s response to the scene(s) in text form. Additionally, select, text responses from the magazine were transposed into augmented reality; these words float and spin in animation against the panel.
