Riding the train to work, I regularly stare half-caffeinated at the New York City subway map and wonder about the beige spaces between subway lines-what's there? This prompted a series of investigations of what might be called the "in-between" spaces. Armed with camera and curiosity, I set out to a snowy Sunnyside, Queens for the first of the in-between investigations.
What I found was Calvary cemetery, a sprawling cemetery hemmed in on its sides by expressways and other large pieces of infrastructure. This created an island of stillness among the constant flow of traffic; a stark contrast between the permanence of death and the constantly changing and moving city. Some of the photos I took are below.
