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, but for the [...]

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 [...]

We’ve been hearing bits and pieces about your upcoming gallery openings, dissertation portfolios, and [...]

I’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 [...]

Now an urban explorer’s dream site, Officer’s Row sits abandoned and crumbling on the corner of Navy and Flushing Ave in Brooklyn. Visit the galleries on The Officer’s Row Project website to see [...]

This ghost bike was put up this year for Julian Miller who was struck and killed by a motorcycle back in September. I think the ghost bike is a touching (and sad) memorial. Seeing this frosty white bike last night reminded me of the bicyclist who is no longer with us. A reminder of the [...]

Every day for the last several years, I’ve made the trek to DUMBO from further south in Brooklyn for work. And every day, I feel like I learn more about the area’s illustrious history as a welcoming ferry port and hub of Brooklyn industry. My latest discovery occurred upon reading more about the trolley tracks [...]

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 [...]
