Earlier in the spring when I trekked to the Williamsburg waterfront for the Domino Sugar Factory open house, my route back to the subway meandered under the Williamsburg Bridge overpass and through a sea of reflections. I recently returned to the photos I’d taken that day and realized how important a part the bridge plays in the geography and identity of the area; intuitive, perhaps but I have never really explored this idea through my photography.
Certainly I’m no expert on how the bridge’s divisive nature plays out in the identities of the various cultures that occupy the vicinity; could you point me in the direction of other photographers or artists who are? What books or articles do you recommend?
In the meantime, here’s a glimpse of life under the Williamsburg Bridge…

Devan! So nice to see you around these parts — thanks so much for the kind words. We’re flattered!
I’ve been following your photo blog for quite some time now too, and obviously I’m a fan. :) I know you make it to the East Coast once in awhile — maybe sometime you can join us for one of our meetups? :D
