Steven Duncan explores the vast underground drainage system -pipes big enough to drive a truck through under Kissena Park in Queens, New York and documents an underground spring. He does a survey of other ventures up the WIlliamsburg Bridge, through Moscow's underground rivers, into a Titan I Missile Silo and up on an abandoned LIRR line in Queens residents' backyards. The photos he takes are for his book to be published next year. I shot Steve's explorations in the summer of 2009. His work is an exploration of the link between the natural and man-made in the urban environment. This kind of exploration has been sharply curtailed in the past ten years because of enhanced security concerns in New York. Steve is currently pursuing a doctorate in history at UC Riverside. Shot, directed and edited by Howard Silver

    Very, very cool. There's something so fascinating about the remnants of our infrastructure and how they intersect with nature (like the LIRR tracks). Thanks for this.

    I really enjoy this, much of an urban adventurer myself. Thanks!
