Sometimes we get nervous when people take a cursory look at our creations and reduce them to one word descriptors such as weird, urban, or lame. Angie Schmitt at Rustwire seems to get where we are coming from and has done a fine job of highlighting our efforts. Below we have reproduced the introductory words of Angie’s post entitled “The Photography  of Cleveland SGS” and encourage you to read the remainder on the Rustwire website.

“I’ve seen a lot of photo collections that pay homage to the city of Cleveland. Often times they focus on Cleveland’s grand monuments: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Quicken Loans Arena, the skyline over the lake. They don’t show abandoned buildings. They don’t show poor neighborhoods. These are the visitors and convention bureau’s version of Cleveland. They’re nice, but in my opinion they lack something.

That’s why I think the photography of Cleveland SGS is so refreshing. I don’t know if I’ve seen a collection of photos dedicated to Cleveland that was this honest, that captures Cleveland’s color and personality so well.”
