love and transportation in the suburbs
I grew up in a suburb
of new york city.
The suburbs were quiet and comfortable; the city was exciting and new. Every friday night I tried to get to that excitement, but every Sunday i was happy to return home.
This series was developed during conversations about the suburbs and the way my ideas of my hometown changed as I stumbled into adulthood.
