Warm June breeze, street signals light the dark South Slope. If there is a quiet moment in New York City’s most populous borough, it is not going to be found in the Slope. We bike deep into Gowanus. The industry has mostly gone to bed for the evening. It is nice to find a quiet [...]

It’s been nearly a month since the last For the Love of Brooklyn meet-up in Gowanus, where I took the medium format photos below (and finally had them developed!). Stay tuned this week for details about the next event, which should be coming up soon! In the meantime, enjoy this beautiful weather and Happy Easter!

I know I’ve been featuring Flickr faves all week exclusively from last weekend’s Gowanus shoot, but I just can’t help it. There were so many wonderful shots submitted! The next theme surfacing is obvious enough; much of the area around the Gowanus canal is fenced. However apparent, I think it serves as an interesting study [...]

There have been so many great shots of Gowanus surfacing this week! For a superfund site, it sure can put on a pretty face. One of the themes we’ve noticed is the myriad perspectives people found to capture its very essence — the murky water of the canal. Though it’s hard to convey the strange, [...]

As we posted yesterday, there have been loads of wonderful shots submitted from the meet-up this past weekend in Gowanus. What’s really been interesting to me is to see how creative and unique each photographer’s perspective is; similar shots are rendered so differently in such a distinctly personal style. It’s been fascinating to compare and [...]

Earlier this week, the New York Times’ locally-focused blog, City Room, posted a call for photos from Gowanus so that they could publish a digital art gallery to celebrate (?) the official designation of the site’s new Superfund status. Check out the art gallery here, which includes 10 photos from For the Love of Brooklyn’s [...]

Please come and join us at the Draft Barn for a late afternoon drink before going out to explore some of our [...]

As the forecast for Brooklyn includes blizzard-like conditions yet again, I’m sitting snug and warm after an exciting commute in the snow with my camera. Though some news sources are predicting a foot of snow and 50+mph winds tonight, is it wrong that I’m just a little bit excited? Anyone have plans to go shoot [...]

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 [...]
