Last Sunday, the strip of Fifth Avenue which runs through Park Slope was closed down for the annual Street Fair, which features loads of live music, a giant record sale, street vendors, and delicious food. For the Love of Brooklyn is happy to post the vignettes below from the fair, courtesy of photographer Claire Voelkel whose photostream we check religiously.
These images feature the gorgeous work she’s doing with her new Rolleicord III, a medium-format twin lens camera from the 1950′s.
Enjoy! (Who wants a puff of cotton candy?!)

Having made an attempt to shoot the street fair myself, I’m completely blown away by this collection of images. Great work, Claire!

Thanks so much Jill! I’m so honored that you asked to post these!
And thanks to you too, two3two, as you were the one who challenged me to take them in the first place!
