Above is a Google Maps satellite view of downtown Modesto, CA with 11th Street at its center, but most photographs in this gallery were taken in the area between I and J Streets. A mere 1.5 miles long, 11th Street is Modesto's corridor of power (city and county government, courthouse, fire station, irrigation district, county clerk, etc.) and cultural center. I have been documenting 11th Street as a project since 1996, but have really only been concentrating on it for the past 4 years.







Tweaked photo of acclaimed cellist Matt Haimovitz during his show, "From Bach to Hendrix and Beyond," in the "Fat Classics" performance at the Fat Cat Music House and Lounge on 11th Street in Modesto on January 12, 2006. Surrounding him are art samples from the "Cellobration" exhibit in which local artists decorated donated cellos to be auctioned in a fundraiser for the Modesto Symphony Orchestra.

Classical pianist Simon Mulligan performs an audience requested "Rhapsody in Blue" during the Modesto Symphony Orchestra's "Fat Classics" series at the Fat Cat Music House and Lounge on 11th Street in Modesto on Thursday evening, April 19, 2007.

Singer Beth Hart writhes on the stage during her performance of Led Zepplin's song, "Whole Lotta Love" as her husband, Scott, looks on with mouth covered during the annual Tresetti's Mardi Gras on 11th Street in Modesto on Fat Tuesday, 2006. Beth gave new meaning to the lyrics, "I'm gonna give you every inch of my love..."
