Seemed like everyone else I know had the day off yesterday. I was stuck in the office, but took the opportunity to go wandering around DUMBO on my lunch break. It was quiet and the snow was like a soft blanket covering the cobblestone streets. There were a few other photographers out, [...]

We here at Love of Brooklyn are getting a little film-obsessed in 2k10. There’s something about the way the grain and old school tones portray my neighborhood that has me melting, in love with everything I see. The shot above is from my new-to-me vintage medium format camera, looking north across the East [...]
