About the artist: My name is David Marin, I’m a 2nd year Stony Brook university student who has transferred schools 2 now. I have a focus on photography and painting, and want to express myself through my work, only now am I taking small steps towards that.
Gen practice: I tend to focus on photographing the daily movement of life, I’m currently working on a personal project series based entirely around my daily commute, and have done some photography on the life of Stony Brook students.
About the project: My current documentary project focuses around the lack of care towards older buildings in the Riverhead township area. I want to highlight the lack of interest and care given to the history and life of my town, and wish to illustrate it through photographing these dilapidated buildings. To contrast the disheveled architecture, photographs of Riverhead township’s newer structures in progress and recently finished will be present to showcase the direction of town leadership to, instead of repurposing and refurbishing buildings or the land they sit on, they decide to approve the tear-down of untouched and forested land.
Within the specific context of the project and of my work I intend to push the function of building reform through documentation in the town.
I love your concept! I think it’s very important that places of all kinds are upkept by the leadership in charge of them, and this could help to draw more attention to them and perhaps instill change for the better. I agree that the leadership could and should use their time and resources to refurbish decaying buildings instead of taking over more wilderness.
I was working under a contract and had done a huge amount of work, but when it came time for payment, my employer suddenly started getting “lost”. First he promised to pay me in a week, then a month, and then he stopped contacting me altogether. I was desperate – it was my honestly earned money! Then I learned about debt collection in Georgia https://www.grandliga.com/debt-collection-in-georgia/ and decided to give it a try. The guys work professionally and know how to make debtors fulfill their obligations. A few weeks later I received the full amount. Now I know for sure that no one can just leave me without my hard earned money!
