Large Brick Wall – Brooklyn
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…

Superfine
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…

Dumbo, Brooklyn
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…
