New Brunswick Night

PHOTOS TAKEN 03-02-24.

I wanted to take more photos at night, as I felt I had kind of found my niche within that genre. I got to spend some time and had some practice in the college town next to where I live. This is New Brunswick, NJ. Home of Rutgers College. Not an Ivy League school, but it has been around for quite some time. I tried to capture a certain grittiness to the town. It feels like the town is a child that has been neglected for years by parents with a failing marriage. This would be the town they sent their adult child while they try to work it out. The town is still trying to carve out some kind of semblance of its character. Underneath it all, New Brunswick doesn’t know if its a big town or small city, but it does have good bones with decent lighting and shadows at night time. I tried to show the bits of character I could find that no one else could (or wanted) to see. These pictures show what I noticed during my walkthrough.
