Response: Street Art, Photography, and the Inside Out Project in Times Square

I have heard of JR before in another photography class but I never thought that they would bring this project somewhere so close to us. I really like that they are images of people in the community instead of people who are well known like all the celebrities in the tabloids. I never got a chance to visit the photo booth in Times Square but I think it would be awesome if they came to my neighborhood in Queens. A lot of people usually think that my neighborhood mostly consists of Indians but in reality it is very diverse. There is an even mix of Chinese, Indian, Hispanics and even white people. I think a project like this really shows diversity in communities. It also does a great job in bringing all these different people together. The combination is street art and photography is one of the best I’ve seen, in my opinion. It has a real message that a lot of people can relate to.
