Bijou Square asks: Where were you before you lived here?

Sean: I'm from West Boylston, MA, where I grew up. I then moved to Fairfield CT to continue college at Fairfield University. I interned in NYC at Rolling Stone for some time, then my job at the Fairfield County Weekly kept me here after school, with an office right downtown.

Bijou Square: What brought you here?

Sean: College and the Fairfield County Weekly, though I was always interested in the landscape of Bridgeport before working there as a reporter/photographer.

Bijou Square: What do you do in Bridgeport?

Sean: Now, I wander with my camera. Before, I would walk or drive the streets working news stories for the Weekly. I assist Margaret Bodell at her new space, The Public Art and Design Center. Music, food, drink and art in Black Rock. Gathering of the Vibes, shows at the Klein through FTC. Las Vetas, Port Coffeehouse, Acoustic Cafe. I visit friends and stay up all night. I explore abandoned sections of the city. I hang my photos from time to time. I meet people with serious, strong ideas that they put into action and inspire me to do the same.

Bijou Square: What’s one spot you could be in Bridgeport all day and why?

Sean: Seaside Park, because it's unlike any park I've ever spent the day in before, right by the ocean.

Bijou Square: What do you think we’re missing here?

Sean: More bike paths, a free and legal graffiti wall, a theme park.
