This collection of images reflects a mood exhibited by certain people on Main Street, Worcester. Though I feel the notion to to call them a depressed people, they most certainly are full of life and energy, only living in a different social sphere. My main subject of this genre is James Diggs, but I have decided to produce a small set of images beyond him. I aim to show the harsh mental state that existing primarily in the streets can manifest. It is a different world, with a different economy and complex social structure. Though not everyone in this collection may fit into the stereotypical street figure, in this context, they seem to take on this harshened atmosphere.
I believe I understand from your thoughts about the sub-culture on Main South. I, too, see it and wonder about these people as I drive to and from campus.
