Alex Webb Coney Island. Brooklyn, New York, USA. 2016. From the book, Brooklyn: The City Within (with Rebecca Norris Webb).
“For some 40 years, I’ve explored the streets of Haiti, Mexico, and more than 60 o
(...) ther countries, guided by the light and the rhythms of daily life. Five years ago, however, I started working closer to home, embarking on a collaborative project with my wife and creative partner, Rebecca Norris Webb, on Brooklyn, where we live. After decades of wandering the world, I’ve been pleased to find that the unexpected, the unknown, or the secret heart of the known may sometimes lie just around the corner in our home borough—like this scene of a boy, half-hidden in the shadows, lost in his thoughts on Surf Avenue.”
