People and place: views of Four Seasons flea market

Long term observation of a Flea Market in Youngstown Ohio. A place decimated in the 1980's with the loss of the steel industry. A population the went from 350,000 to currently 60,000. Its a form of loose street photography observing the variety of people

A project that began as a way to merely work on a form of street photography and the unique gathering and mixture of cultures that this little flea market provided in this small town in the middle of what has been term the Rust Belt of America. An economically depressed area with most people struggling financially.
