Photographer Dean Majd presents his solo debut exhibition, "Hard Feelings," at BAXTER ST at the Camera Club of New York. The show compiles a decade of intimate photographs documenting his inner circle of skateboarders and graffiti writers in Queens, a community he joined after the death of his childhood friend James. The work captures communal joys, rites of passage, and the dangers of their lifestyle, while also serving as a dedication to his friend Suba, who died from an accidental overdose in 2020.
