My very first trip to Harlem! Not what I was expecting at all, at least I didn't find it as "sketchy" as its stereotype supposes. Although I angered many of the residents with my photography, I came into no conflicts. This photograph describes the area as well as my experience in Harlem perfectly; the juxtaposition of the limo against the truck, the limo is moving while the truck is still. The wealthy are moving into Harlem and the area is starting to clean up so this photograph represents this. And how does this photograph signify my experience in Harlem? I looked SO out of place wearing my little dress, big sunglasses,sandals, giant bag, and an expensive camera around my neck. It was very amusing. The next photograph was taken by a friend that shows this juxtaposition really well...

I loved the way you showed the different contrast of living that you can see in Harlem. Without showing persons you can really see what is happening in that area. I fount interesting the way the limo is moving and the truck is still because it emphasizes even more this contrast.
