Once the heart of Buffalo’s Polish population, the crossroads of Broadway and Fillmore Avenue – while still bearing more than a few traces of Polski traditions – is now a diverse neighborhood of African-American, Vietnamese and Bangladeshi residents.
Growing up I used to hear stories of what the district was like in the days of old. I could see the nostalgia ever so vividly. When the story ends and the feelings fade what I see in front of me is a cast of gloom over the neighborhood's that co-created these experiences.
The intent is to capture the vibrancy of those stories through color, combined with reflecting the people who live in the area today.
