DUMBO

Large Brick Wall – Brooklyn
1896 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I made a different picture of this wall that i happen to like a little better but it doesn’t really do a good job of showing the fading old advertisements that are visible straight on. My intent was to include only the brick-face but it seems that every time i push the edge of the frame for specific framing requirements…

Superfine
1900 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I was going for something here that didn’t work out exactly the way i planned. Instead of getting a couple of slightly blurred people walking past as i intended i was left with 2 ghostly legs and that’s about it. Not superfine if you ask me, but an interesting mistake (or that’s what i’m telling myself). We’re off to Santa…

Abandoned Building and Manhattan Bridge
1899 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I realized after looking through these last several pictures from Brooklyn that i haven’t really ever made a series of images of a city before, i really enjoy it. Seems to me like the same basic rules apply to both uninhabited and inhabited areas. At least i just walk around and try to get the pictures that come out of…

The Belly of the Brooklyn Bridge
1912 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Standing underneath the Brooklyn Bridge is like standing underneath a lot of other bridges in that i always expect a 4×8 foot sheet of 1″ thick steel to break free and come crashing down… (that’s cause i live in san francisco and that’s happened a few times around here). you might figure that from that high up it’ll gracefully float…

The Empire State Building from Brooklyn
1917 1920 Liberty Thermionics

As i mentioned earlier, Brooklyn gave me this great perspective on New York City that i’d never had before. Walking around there it feels a lot like san francisco: even though this town’s got about twice the amount of land and 3.5 times the number of people it feels like a small community, or that’s what i got while i…

Brooklyn Bridge
1913 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Sorry for the short break there… At the last minute last week i ended up taking a couple of days off and going skiing with some friends for the weekend. We returned yesterday afternoon, all limbs intact and only minor soreness. all in all – excellent. There’s something about shooting pictures in Brooklyn, and any other city for that matter,…

Dumbo, Brooklyn
1908 1920 Liberty Thermionics

This is probably one of the best neighborhood names i’ve heard. In case you don’t know DUMBO translates to: Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It seems from looking around for that this – like many other things – is something that only I was not aware of and the rest of the world has been aware of for a…
