Hidden Ellis Island
Click a thumbnail for a larger view.
In early 2002, I photographed the interiors
of the decaying buildings on the un-restored south side of Ellis Island.
These buildings served prosaic and often sad purposes: they were the
wards and medical facilities. They had a haunting beauty, with their
subtle, almost monochromatic colors: greens and rust, old brick and
peeling plaster. Ellis Island also had personal significance for me:
two of my grandparents passed through the immigrant processing center
when they came from Europe in the early years of the 20th century.
