Entrepreneurship, quality, community, sustainability, farming and education. These are the six aspects of Dekalb Market (God rest its soul), formerly at 138 Willouhby street on Flatbush ave Brooklyn. As I biked home from Manhattan I decided to photograph the market, which I should have done much sooner. It was cloudy day, and there seemed a sense of slight despair hanging over the area, a sense of loss. Something wonderful died, and everyone who worked there, or had a business there felt the weight of it.

Requiem for Dekalb Market. The tracks were upbeat
and great, but could not cover up the despair.

I thought this would be great as the ending shot.
Its urban development that brought about Dekalb Market,
and what caused its demise at this address.
