Synopsis

The beauty of documenting is that it is a weapon against misconception. There exists a distinction between Bonafide Rojas' New York & its popularized identity. Rojas' love & laments are steeped in stark realism, the loneliness of being, & an observation of the dismantled facade of the city. Every city block has an enchantment to it & he is drawn to its story. Rojas have absorbed the suffering of every brick & never lost belief of its beauty, even through the trials of the everyday. Rojas is a quintessential New Yorker & it has given him the chance to observe a living organism build & transform itself. Continuing in the tradition of Whitman, Crane, Lorca, & Pietri, he writes to document the city's wonders, brilliance & shocking tales. The love affair he has with New York is another story to push into the concrete. "When The City Sleeps" is his offering to a city & its constant inspiration.
