Yeah yeah… It’s not Brooklyn. We know. However, the venerable (V) Train made its final trip this past Friday night into early Saturday morning, and Newmindspace had the awesome idea of throwing a party on the train to celebrate its last ride. The last train left the 2nd Ave station in Manhattan at 11:33pm and [...]

One thing I love about April is how it’s generally the first month in the year when it gets warm enough to take long night bike rides, and these rides are perfect for photos. I love riding around the city to take my night shots, but in the winter it gets a bit too cold [...]

Today we are very excited to be featuring one of our favorite Brooklyn-based (and native) photographers, Ray Ciborowski, who goes by earthmagnified on Flickr. He is known for capturing beautiful images of forgotten places and exotic lands and has an exceptional talent at doing both. Ray is blessed with not only a great eye, but [...]

I’ve already posted a few from the snowstorms we’ve been having this February in Brooklyn, but I wanted to post this last one. So often, when a photogenic weather event such as a snow storm happens, photographers (myself absolutely included) immediately think about where to go to get the best shots. As I was sitting [...]

His photos beautifully capture the emotions of the borough through documenting living history through the lens of someone rooted in old Brooklyn. He’s also known to be quite [...]

I couldn’t wait to finish work yesterday and start taking photos. Snow in Brooklyn is one of my favorite things, and justifiably so. People are happier and more excited, everything is prettier, and the snow is something everyone loves playing in, especially photographers. After work, I set out on my bike with a camera and [...]

When I think of places I love to shoot in Brooklyn, one of the first areas that comes to mind is Gowanus. Gowanus used to be a major point of industry for Brooklyn thanks to its canal, but now the majority of that industry has left. With the flight of the industry, the area was [...]

Scenes from a Coney Island Thursday night. Since neither Matt nor I have been shooting in Brooklyn at night recently, we decided to take a drive to Coney Island. We really underestimated the wind. It was about 20 degrees out, but close to zero with windchill. We didn’t last long in that weather (mainly on [...]

Yesterday I was on the way to get my teeth drilled (I eat a lot of gummy candy, and I’m perfectly happy with this trade-off), and I passed by this burned taxi right by the High St A/C stop in Brooklyn Heights. The car was still warm and smoking. I don’t really know why this [...]
