The Urban Cave
The Urban Cave, begun in 2007, is an effort to document men and women living in makeshift dwellings around New York despite the city’s efforts to empty their encampments. It is a story about the resilience and humanity of people who live “on the other side” of conventional society. Most of all, it is about a group of individuals and the spectrum of their lives, rather than their deprivations. Photographed around informal living conditions set up in the shadows of a bridge over a dead-end street, a stripped derelict building or the walls of a railway tunnel, the images are a response to the beauty of both place and people, to the dignity, determination, and perseverance of long-term homelessness.
