Green Street


The Green Street Art Center in Middletown gets support from Wesleyan University.
One project was to put murals on the side of a building up the street from the center.

I rarely have a photograph I like better in black and white.  This is one.
The old men from the neighborhood stand out better than they did in the colored version.

  8. Great photo, Jack. With these gentleman sitting out on the street, no one gets away doing anything they shouldn't. Cool.

  9. Fantastic photo. I can see where a full color photo would have detracted from men. I really like the way the middle man is looking.
