Sam Rutkin: May Your Shutter Stay Swift

In an era of camera phones, everyone can take spontaneous pictures and call themselves photographers. Yet, only a handful of those people are photo artists. The artist sees more than just a cool image; he sees a hidden beauty that escapes the eyes of the masses. Under this definition, Sam Rutkin is an artist of the highest order; someone who utilizes a camera to shed light on a seemingly ordinary world.

Bush Terminal

 

Brooklyn's Bush Terminal is located on the Sunset Park waterfront. It houses a collection of warehouses and train tracks. Behind this industrial area lies a fenced off "brownfield" - including a decades-old apple orchard, two unnatural ponds and a series of man-made bays. As explained by the NYC Council's Waterfronts Committee in an oversight document, the area was an active port until 1974, when its series of piers was filled in with "illegal disposal of liquid wastes at the landfill including oils, oil sludges, and wastewaters."
