Evanescent Cities is a photographic exploration of the neighborhoods of Long Island City, Queens and Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These neighborhoods have undergone a massive shift over the last few decades as New York City becomes more prosperous. At the same time, the cities evolution away from industrial landscapes towards a newer, more sterile version of itself has sacrificed a certain amount of diversity not to mention charm. In these depopulated landscapes photographer Patrick O'Hare seeks to document, and comment upon, the ever-shifting relationship between New York's neighborhoods and the people they contain.

Reviews
"These are not images of high-gloss nor poor city neighborhoods. They are not judgmental. They do not romanticize the city. They are not particularly joyous. Rather, they illuminate an urban environment as it is experienced by the everyday city dweller, documenting the march of time as elements of the city grow and fade." - Photobook Journal
