Chauteux on Central

Chauteux on Central I

My mini story is about Chauteux on Central, a half-built condominium district in downtown Phoenix. During the housing boom, this complex was built in hopes of charging residents between 1.4 million and 4 million dollars to live here. Then the recession hit and the developers, Central PHX Partners, declared bankruptcy.
But that’s not all! The New York Times did a story on Chauteux and hired a photojournalist to take photos of major undeveloped buildings across America, kind of as icons of the recession. However, the photographer photoshopped several of the images in the slideshow, was fired and the slideshow was taken down.
So I took it upon myself to show accurate photos of Chauteux. I shot black and white C-41 film, which, even if the final result can be falsified, the negatives never can be.

The Phoenix New Times has a perfect version of the story.

Here is a link to the original site.
