Every image is an entire universe in “Hard Feelings,” photographer Dean Majd’s solo debut at the Camera Club of New York’s BAXTER ST. The exhibition charts a 10-year journey since the passing of the artist’s childhood friend, James, whose community of skateboarders and graffiti writers is at the center of the show. Through Majd’s lens, life and death are not opposites, but a continuum wherein the most painful shadows are softened by glimmers of light. In the aftermath of James’s death, Majd grew close to his circle of young men in Queens. The show captures a decade of communal joys and rites of passage in the skateboarding and graffiti scenes, while also confronting the dangers of their nocturnal lifestyle.
