“Buffalo’s economic slump defines the city in the popular imagination. That understanding is rooted in fact: Buffalo is one of the poorest large cities in America. And you can find that in Halpern’s photographs, which feature unkempt places and people with ragged edges. . . . Halpern recognizes through these pictures that, amid Buffalo’s difficulties, ‘babies are born there. People fall in love there. Certain people would say the city is dying, but it’s also continually being born.’” —Brian Sholis in Aperture Issue #226: “American Destiny.” Show more
