I was walking under a bridge in Harlem, when I came across this small enclave, which looked interesting, so I crossed the street and started taking pictures. I saw a man sweeping the floor, and I thought odd that this man would be sweeping part of the street as if he was cleaning his own front yard. He saw me and started to speak to me from the other side. I eventually crossed the street and started to talk to him. This is the bat cave, affectionately named by the people who live there. It's a dead end block in Harlem where a bunch of homeless men make their home. He told me a lot of history about it, and how a lot of big hollywood movies are shot and how this was the best place to live in New York City. I don't think he trusted me enough to let me go in the back, but I was told the building has the other face to the river. I know its slightly naive, but I still find myself a little bit surprised to find homeless people in one of the most (if not THE most) powerful and rich country in the world...
