Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on the Mayor”s Progress Since Taking Office

By DAVID GREENE
  As New York City Mayor Eric Adams approaches the end of his first year in office, this week we asked readers to grade the mayor on his performance so far.   “Grade?… No, he doesn’t get an A. I give him a D, that’s right. He just talks a lot and does nothing. I’d like to see him stop the crime. Get the community and pull people together and let us build a bigger and brighter city. Stop all this smoking [of weed] wherever you go…in the park, I know it’s the law! Yeah, in the hallways and buildings, man.

Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on the Influence of Money on Sports Federations

By DAVID GREENE
  With the World Cup being played this year during off-season in Qatar, the first time the tournament is being held in the Middle East, and amid reports of the country’s poor human rights records for women, manual workers, and the LGBTQ+ community, we asked readers if big money is influencing sports institutions like FIFA or the NBA to the detriment of professional sports.   “No, I don’t think it hurts the sport. You know why? Because Qatar in the summer has very hot temperatures, so that’s why they switched it from the summer to November. November, right now, in Qatar it’s beautiful

Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on the City Council’s New Law Expanding Childcare Access

By DAVID GREENE
This week, we asked readers their thoughts on the City Council’s new law to expand access to childcare services, and if the new law will allow them to return to work or potentially change to a better job.   “Oh yeah, that’s a good idea! That could get people to work, but are you sure the daycare is safe? Of course, daycare is important. We are struggling more in The Bronx than people in the City. A lot of people don’t have anyone to take care of their kids like a grandmother or someone related to a single mom. Yes, it’s

Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on Housing Asylum Seekers at Orchard Beach Temporary Shelter

By DAVID GREENE
This week, we asked readers their thoughts on the plan to house asylum seekers at a temporary shelter that was being built on the Orchard Beach parking lot in the Northeast Bronx, but which has, in the meantime, been moved to Randall’s Island.   “I think it’s completely irresponsible for anybody to be putting something over there based on the fact that it’s in a flood zone, based on the fact that there’s no form of transportation for these people, which is pretty much inhumane. Why do they always consider The Bronx the dumping ground for society’s problems? They started

Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on Saudi-Sponsored Women’s Golf Tournament at Trump Golf Links

By DAVID GREENE
With a recently released U.S. government report implicating some individuals in the Saudi Arabian government in having assisted the 9/11 hijackers, this week we asked readers for their thoughts on Trump Golf Links, located in Ferry Point Park in Throggs Neck, hosting a Saudi-sponsored, women’s golf tournament next month in The Bronx. Listed sponsor, Aramco [officially the Saudi Arabian Oil Company] is a Saudi Arabian public petroleum and natural gas company based in Dhahran.   “It’s so funny you mention that because I was just watching something on that. What took place was really different because what went down was

Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on What the Overturning of Roe Vs Wade Means for the Country

By DAVID GREENE
  Following the latest Supreme Court decision to strike down Roe vs. Wade, we asked readers their thoughts on the issue, and what it means for the country, moving forward.   “I believe it’s unjust. I kind of see it’s been a long time coming, especially with the nomination of [former President Donald] Trump, and how he appointed three Supreme Court justices who are conservative, so I think America is regressing, honestly. I feel we have a lot of work to do and it’s time we start listening to the people, start listening to women, and start prioritizing woman and

Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on Whether New Gun Laws Will Have an Impact on Gun Violence

By DAVID GREENE
  As elected officials worked to enact new legislation after several, recent mass shootings, we asked readers if they believed such legislation would have any impact, and what type of legislation, in their opinion, was necessary.   “Of course, I’m familiar with the legislation, but nothing is going to help because the government is into all this stuff. They are allowing certain things to happen to their benefit. Drugs and guns, it’s the same thing. I would like this to stop immediately, because so many innocent people are dying. They must ban all guns and why do you think that’s not going

Inquiring Photographer: Thoughts on the different COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

By DAVID GREENE
  This week, we asked readers their thoughts on the different COVID-19 vaccine mandates that are now in effect, and whether they agree with them.   “Honestly, it’s really a mixed bag because vaccines do work to an extent, but then we have heard about those who have been vaccinated getting “break out” cases, but generally, those cases that have COVID, they don’t show symptoms. Yet, they’re still a health liability because they can still transmit [the virus]. Maybe they don’t. I just think, right now, with the misinformation going on, and the weaponization of information to make the vaccine
