Though I’m not sure how it’s been a full three weeks since I left Brooklyn for the West Coast (and managed to go all that time without posting), it sure has! Couldn’t we all use a little more of this in our lives, even when the first day of spring brings snowflakes?
Gorgeous photo below by the very talented Georg Sedlmeir, shot this past winter in Coney Island. Lots more wonderful work ahead this week – and some exciting news! Stay tuned and have a great day!
Lots of shots are still appearing in our Flickr group from last week’s meet-up in Williamsburg! Check out a few of my recent favorites below and have a great weekend!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Williamsburg this past Thursday night for our latest meet-up! Despite the frozen temperatures, we had about 15 photographers come brave the weather and join us for a walk to the Williamsburg waterfront. By the end of the night, only 9 of us remained. Vitaliy Piltser took this panorama as proof:
There are already tons of great shots in the Flickr pool, and I’ll definitely feature more as the week progresses. But for now, enjoy these great long exposures from the waterfront from the warmth of your homes. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

It’s been FAR too long since For the Love of Brooklyn hosted a meet-up, but we’re resolving to get the ball rolling once again in 2011! To kickstart February, we’re going to reconvene — this time in Williamsburg at Radegast Hall! We’ll start off at the biergarten and tour the waterfront neighborhood, venturing as far as the weather will allow. If you’ve never joined us for a meet-up before, we’d love to have you — but be sure to bundle up and bring a tripod if you’d like to capture some long exposures!
If you’d like to sign up to receive news about future meet-ups and events, make sure to submit your email address in the sidebar or become a fan on Facebook!
RSVP: Via Facebook
Date: Thursday, February 3rd
Time: 7:00pm (we’ll be there by 6:30 so feel free to come early!)
Location: Radegast Hall, at Berry & N 3rd in Williamsburg (map)
Via MTA: L to Bedford Ave
See you there!!
P.S. If you make it to Williamsburg in time for the sunset just after 5pm, you might want to head to the waterfront. With any luck, you may be treated to a fireworks display like photog Vitaliy Piltser has captured time and time again!
