James singewald 515–517 Old Town Mall, East Baltimore 2009 color pigment print 40 x 30" My photography serves as a document of American cities and the changes they have seen through history. My images expose what most of our cities have become since the early 20th century and a harsh reality of how much neglect has taken place in the past 60 years. My intent is not only to show the negative effects of this environment, but also to show a glimpse of how beautiful cities like Baltimore and Philadelphia once were by exposing a raw type of beauty in their present condition. I consider my photography a portrait of a city and the history its content reveals.
