Down by the Hudson presents over a decade of summers Caleb Stein spent photographing a creek in Poughkeepsie, New York. Since 2013, Stein has returned to the same stretch of water each year, observing the recurring rhythms of friendship, gathering, and care that define this communal space. What began as documentation gradually became a lyrical and tender ode to the freedom and edenic sense of community the place elicits.
