Broad Channel...(The Boonville saga #2)

For you Minnie, Broad Channel, 2006 (Study for Boonville project)

This last July I spent 3 days in Broad Channel, Queens shooting images for my Boonville project.

Broad Channel is a very bizarre place. It is basically an island between Queens and Rockaway Beach. It is separated into two parts by Cross Bay Boulevard. Many of the homes are on the water and almost everyone has a boat. On my last day shooting I spent over 4 hours with a woman named Mary-Anne. She fed me a burger and a Bud while she spoke about the history of Broad Channel and the small amount of people that inhabit the island. She recently sent me a letter inviting Laura and I to her waterfront home for dinner. Broad Channel is very unique place.

Thank you Grandpa...
