Setting the Floodgate, New York City

Setting the Floodgate, New York City

 

Setting the Gate:

New 45-ton Floodgate in Asser Levy Park, New York City

 

 

Work on our photography contract with they city’s 1.5-billion East Side Coastal Resiliency Project continues, as a new 45-ton, nearly 80-foot long gate at Asser Levy Park is installed.

The massive gate was trucked in on a flatbed, and raised into position in front of the gorgeous bath house, opened in 1908 to alleviate sanitary problems in the city. Many New Yorkers, especially immigrants living in overcrowded tenements, had no place to bathe.

The floodgate will close when the city is forecasted to receive major surges of ocean water from coastal storms.

The gate rolls on slowly-moving wheels, taking a full five minutes lock into place and block off the southern portion of the park, which opens onto East 23rd Street, from potential flooding. 

Asser Levy Park is the first of five parks being redesigned or rebuilt for the $1.5 billion East Side Coastal Resiliency project, which is set to provide flood protection for nearly 100,000 area residents.

Energy and Action in Environmental Photography

 

 

 

 

Even in environmental photography, where the landscape is often a static thing, it’s important to look for movement and energy.

I worked for fifteen years as a sports photographer, and it was a great arena to learn cutting-edge technology (those surfing photographers were always the first with a cool underwater development!), peak-action timing and deadline filing.  But most of all — and beyond developing a love of sports in general — I grew to love the energy in pictures that emerge from sports.

 

 

New York Jets football; track meet, Van Cortlandt Park; US Tennis Open.

 

 

Sports photography can be quiet and contemplative, and sometimes depict just an expression or a stance, but my favorites are more often of the human body in motion. In these photos, there is power, tension, energy, accomplishment — or sometimes, failure. And failure can have just as much energy as great accomplishment.

Things slow down a little bit away from sports, but I still look for the energy in any scene I’m photographing. Energy gives life and tension to the static photo. One of my priorities when I’m shooting is to look for, or wait for, an expression of the energy in a scene.

Especially when that energy comes from a human being, whether in motion or conveyed in a stance or expression, energy in a photograph does more than show you what a place looks like. It shows you what it feels like to be there.

 

Energy can be an expression. Steven Hooker of Australia celebrates after clearing 5.80 during the Mens’ Pole Vault competition of the Adidas Grand Prix 2010 at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island in New York City, New York.

Remote Area Medical Moves On

Moving On:

Remote Area Medical in Wise, Virginia 

 

 

 

 

After years of bringing free medical, dental and vision services to the Appalachian communities around Wise, Virginia, the Remote Area Medical (RAM) expedition moves on.

Waiting in line in the early morning for medical and dental care. Uninsured patients stand in long lines — some arriving the night before and sleeping in cars — to receive fillings, medications and check-ups.

 

 

 

The first time I covered the Remote Area Medical Expedition to Appalachia, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Children in their pajamas, sleeping in cars. Emergency medical treatments in the sheep barn of the Wise, Virginia county fairgrounds. Teens getting full-mouth extractions in the dental tent. Exhausted doctors, dentists, nurses working from sun-up to sundown. It reminded me of a MASH unit, deployed in a mountain town in the United States. 

Those were the early years of the RAM’s Wise expeditions. Taking place over one long weekend in July, the expedition involved hundreds of doctors, dentists, audiologists, optometrists, and logistics personnel working out of the barns, tents and stables of the county fairgrounds. Volunteer healthcare workers came from all over the country to donate their services and, for university students, to work on the front lines of the uninsured crisis in America. 

I’ve covered the expeditions for years, first as an enterprise self-assignment, then for the University of Virginia, Getty and The New York Times. I met a lot of good people . Many of them slept in their cars in order to secure medical and dental care the following day. I met a woman who used lemon oil to dull the pain in her teeth. Full-mouth extractions in young men and women — some not even out of their teens — were called “a rite of passage” by dentists who came from all over the country.

A medium format camera with black-and-white film allowed me to approach people waiting for medical and dental care. Mostly I found them to be kind, open to talking and being photographed and telling their stories.

 

The southwest corner of Virginia still faces significant healthcare challenges. Black lung disease from coal mining remains prevalent. Most alarmingly, an advanced stage, progressive massive fibrosis appears to be on the rise. 

But I recently learned that, in 2020, the expedition did not return to Wise for the first time in 20 years. The reason? Virginia has expanded the Medicaid eligibility for thousands of people in the area, and so the long lines that used to wrap around the livestock barns have dwindled in recent years. 

That’s a good thing. And RAM has moved on, bringing its army of volunteers to other communities in need across the United States.
