The pair have done nearly every, important local video you can imagine. They work closely with the City of Danbury, the Chamber of Commerce, Danbury Police and many private companies to tell visual stories, and they do it at a high level.
I’ve had the great pleasure of working with them on the Danbury PD recruitment video, a commercial for a private company and the I-95 Ethan & Lou 10-year anniversary concert.
Photographer Captures the True Grit of Downtown Danbury in Black + White
Recently, I was scrolling through my Instagram feed when I came across a page I’d seen before, one I really enjoy. It’s called @danburystreets
All the posts from @danburystreets tell and intimate and gritty story, portraying life in the Hat City for its reality. If you look at the body of work as a collective, you’ll see good, bad, passion, hurt, anger, commerce and an identity crisis in the streets of Danbury, at least that is what I see.
@danburystreets is run by Renato Ghio of R Media. I knew he was behind it, and it had slipped my mind. So, when I reached out to ask permission to use the photos, I was delighted to get a response from someone I know, and like. Renato said he’d be honored to have his page featured, and provide insight on his work.
If you love people who care for their neighborhood, if you love art, or the story of Danbury, Danbury Streets is well worth the follow @danburystreets

7 of Danbury's Most Interesting Signs
There is a song by Tesla and the lyrics go something like this:
"Signs Signs, everywhere there's signs blocking out the scenery breaking my mind, do this, don't do that can't you read the sign?" I think the song was actually written by a man named Les Emmerson but that is for another day. Signs can block out the scenery, disturb or even make people laugh. Danbury, CT has it's fair share of signs, these are just a bit more interesting than your average public message.
