subject matter approached in taking pictures

My approach is based on my past rememberance of the neighborhood that I've grown up in. The innercity hoods (1st,2nd.3rd,4th,5th, and 6th), along with the outta areas displayed have dramatically changed, since my younger days. Many of the hoods are now intergrated with many different cultures, ethic backgrounds, and sexual preferences. The intrastructure has evolved according to time; but there reflects a great disparative picture of what separates the rich from the poor. The climax of rich and poor living togeether is the fact that these group of people can coexist within the same frame work-the hood. The irony of what is transpiring in today's society is that the rich are now moving into the innercity hoods , which are ajacent to expansion, and are actually raising the property taxes ; thus driving the poor person out of the metropolital growth areas. My main focus is on the intrastructure and the rapid growth reflecting expensive housing being placed in the low income hood, currently taking place. But then I pay close attention to the movements and mannerism of the people. The people in the hood always seem to be in place either in death, spirit, or flesh. My intent is to reflect the true imagine of innercity hoods of my time and today.
