Reason for The Area

At the beginning of this project I did not choose the spot I am originally going to work with. I choose a black and white Smoke Shop where you go to buy cigars. However, I choose New York Transit Museum, because it was the only thing Downtown Brooklyn in the direction that I walked that caught my attention. Not being from the United States made it even more interesting because I never saw a real train until I came to the U.S. And automatically I was interested. I saw this perfectly cleaned clear glass with its green background and I was already blown away. On the side of the glass it has a black frame explaining what it was. I then proceeded to the front of the museum and said to myself oh no. It seemed spooky compared to a regular train station and that is as far as I got, due to the fact the museum is only open Tuesday to Sundays. Another reason I choose this area, is because I could make connections to the reading of Colson Whitehead, β€œCity Limits,” and that inspired me to work on this project for the next few weeks. And if anyone is interesting in attending the museum as me the price is $10.00.
