For the Love of Brooklyn is a site that provides Brooklyn photographers with a place to discuss, showcase, and view, Brooklyn photography. This is not a revolutionary concept—there are other sites where you can discuss/showcase your Brooklyn photographs—but there is something very special about FTLOB. FTLOB quickly established itself as not just another website, but [...]

After posting a great tutorial from Claire Voelkel earlier this summer, I’ve noticed several people taking her lead and starting to develop their own film at home. Recently, I noticed that photographer Barry Yanowitz was part of this group of self-developing enthusiasts and I reached out to ask him how it’s going so far. Barry [...]

This weekend as I was browsing through our ever-growing Flickr pool, I stumbled upon the medium-format work of Triebensee. The way he sees life through his Hasselblad is really touching; and his series on the Steeplechase Pier at Coney Island is just wonderful. I immediately reached out to find out what he thinks is so [...]

For the Love of Brooklyn is happy to post the vignettes below from the fair, courtesy of photographer Claire Voelkel [...]

So to kill a bit of time, we headed across the street to the lovely independent Greenlight Bookstore. It’s not often that [...]

This week for Feature Fridays, we’re excited to present photographer Lyouba Assadourova (AKA LOVE44), a Brooklyn transplant via communist Bulgaria. I first discovered her work, and consequently her fascinating history, via her “Wasteland” collection, which is a bleak and beautiful look at the gritty side of Brooklyn and its environs. But be not fooled by [...]

This week for Feature Fridays, we’re excited to present photographer Aonghais MacInnes, a long-time Brooklyn resident and blogger. I first discovered his work through his “Brand Recognition” collection, which made me laugh and inspired philosophical pause all at once; it’s a study of trash in Prospect Park. And then I realized he publishes a fantastic [...]

During this week’s Feature Fridays, we’re excited to bring you Peter Puleo, a native Brooklynite and NewYorkophile. Peter has a unique perspective on the borough through photography. 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 [...]
