I like the surprising (yet quiet) photographs that can be found in Joseph Tripi’s personal project, All America City. The above photo reminds me kindly, and endlessly, of my Grandfather.

Joseph writes about the work:

The All America City award is given annually to communities that show merit, growth, togetherness and pride. American commonality- in all its glory, irony and splendor. Buffalo and the Western New York region, my birthplace and true home, have earned this title twice in the past 20 years. The award isn’t as much as an affirmation as it is a reminder of values. A reinforcement of memory- of home. Buffalo lies elsewhere, not as a destination but as a frame of mind. Beyond any place.
