Dusk on the Gowanus Canal

One of these years, as a result of the EPA cleanup and gentrification, the Gowanus Canal area will, for me, lose much of its charm. In the background of the chain link fence image, is the F Train line, Smith St. & 9th Ave. station, which is one of the few elevated stations still working.

Dumbo

There was some sort of a commercial film shoot going on in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Quite an entourage of catering and equipment trucks. The Audi was parked on the set, but I have no idea how it may fit in with the shoot. I guess it was more interesting to look at than the hordes of people on the set milling about, seemingly doing nothing other than talking and eating.

Gowanus Mural: Pt. 4

DSC_5395 DSC_5396 DSC_5397The mural covered the length of this one story building. I didn’t have a true wide angle lens on the camera at the time, so did my best. While I was standing in the street shooting, this FedEx truck stopped. I was thinking he was just being polite about not interrupting my shoot, but it turns out he wanted his photo taken. He stuck his head out the window and yelled out to me: “Hey, take my picture”! Brooklyn, you gotta love it :-).
