Chris Arnade, 48, quit his 20-year gig as a Wall Street banker to explore the streets of the South Bronx at night and photograph prostitutes and drug addicts. Just a short distance from Wall Street, the South Bronx is the poorest congressional district in the country, with about 35% of its people living below the poverty line.
PolicyMic interviewed Arnade about his journey, inspiration, and work. Here are eight of the stunning portraits he's taken from Hunts Point, South Bronx, with his captions beneath.
. . .
(the 8 pictures and captions are available through the link, I thought that made more sense than trying to C&P them..)
I thought the photographs and captions were incredible, he got some very insightful and powerful lines from people. This really is a community most NYers will never see either, and is quite easy to ignore for the most part. I really got a feeling for why people end up in that situation too, more-so than the 1 or 2 scenarios that are culturally ingrained.
