Description: The Rockaways were damaged by Hurricane Sandy but survived after the storm passed. The street sign stands a a symbol of the resiliance of residents and homes that weathered the storm. [From Adam: I come from Poland, from Warsaw, soon after I finished high school I decided to go to U.S. for the first time. NYC was the place where I started my first photographic adventure. That's why at the beginning I focused mainly on urban photography, later in Poland I also photographed the industrial sites of the cities, but through those years was exploring more and more natural landscapes, and today here on Rockaway the most important for me became light, open space and atmosphere. In my art I aim to catch the place, people, situation, weather in that very moment of seeing more then usually. Before I moved to Rockaway I was living in Brooklyn for over four years. I was a witness of two biggest hurricanes in the last years, Irine and Sandy, but Sandy was the one that really changed everything around and within me. By the time of hurricane I was in Brooklyn, I came to Rockaway the day after and couldn't believe what I saw. Unfortunately I forgot to take camera with me, so next day I came there again with my camera and started document the whole disaster. I’ve been always very familiar with Rockaway and Broad Channel. Eventually I moved here two months after the hurricane, which I planned before anyway. I became a member of RAA (Rockaway Artist Alliance) and participant of three exhibitions at the gallery T7 in Fort Tilden. So far so good.]
