My decades-long wanderings through Buffalo are the genesis of this book. The more I walked and photographed, the more I felt the need to show Buffalo as a place worth knowing, as a place that can not be allowed to disappear.
The pictures presented here represent a walking perspective of Buffalo. Walking gives you the time and flexibility to study a place or particular thing. The city has so much richness of form that walking is the only way to truly appreciate the gift given to the people of Buffalo. It is a gift that needs to be shared.
I hope this book will inspire others to take a closer look at this forgotten place and help in creating a new awareness of and appreciation for Buffalo, an American treasure worth keeping.
