looking out the back window

kitchen viewI’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 in my apartment debating about where to venture while enjoying a nice heavy beer to compliment the winter storm, I paused for a second to look out my kitchen window.

I had been so wrapped up in thinking about where to go, that I forgot about the beauty of the scene sitting right in front of me. I grabbed the film camera, adjusted the settings, and took a shot.

Incandescence

It’s no secret that one of our favorite Brooklyn-based blogs is Brownstoner. Their coverage of borough news, history, and real estate is always thorough and entertaining — plus the comments can be downright hilarious. But I will be forever indebted to their fantastic coverage of local photography, for it is through Brownstoner that we here at For the Love of Brooklyn are introduced to new artists every day!

Lately, it’s been exciting to watch as some of our Featured Photographers are getting the attention they deserve – the beautiful shot of Coney Island (above) was taken by none other than our contributor Pete and featured on Monday. The shot below of a rusting cable car in Red Hook, also featured Monday, was taken by our blogger Matt.

The spectacular shot below of the downtown loop of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, from fave photog Barry Yanowitz, was also recently featured. And last night’s Brownstone blogwrap post, featured one of my own recent shots from DUMBO.

A big shout-out to these photographers for their continued inspiration!
