ASK FOR CHRISTOPHER
BY ALEX MITCHELL
The Bronxer is back. After
spending a year in hiatus,
the borough’s beloved
Alex Rivera will be resuming
his photographic and visually
artistic passions in full
fl edge and full force over the
upcoming months.
“I’ve been working a 9 to
5 job and it’s been very constraining.
It felt like I was being
paid to not live up to what
I am capable of,” the Bronxer
said. “I was getting anxiety
that wouldn’t be able to create
and more so that’s why I’m
coming back,” he continued.
Possibly known best for
his elevated drone captured
images like Third Avenue
cross streets, Baychester
Bay, and even the 174th Street
Bridge, what’s coming for the
Bronxer could be his most
down to earth project yet.
Called “Section 8 Entrepreneur,”
The Bronxer is completing
a multimodal, fi lm merchandise,
and visual art project
about what life is like growing
up in a modern version of this
historic borough with the collaborative
assistance of fellow
talented photographer and
Bronxite, Adiana Rivera.
The Bronxer is also planning
on expanding his artistic
horizons, introducing new
styles of projects that involve
acrylic painting on canvas
as well as what he described
as another massive fi lm project
that is, of course ‘heavily
Bronx based.’
That’s in addition to a
planned visual art show
that’s in the works.
“The future is going to be
exciting, stay tuned for more,
much more.” he said.
If you want to meet The
Bronxer in person then head
to the Bronx Book Festival at
Fordham Plaza at 9 a.m. on
Saturday, June 8.
