Gowanus, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
A commercial building next to a residential building in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The residential building is from the Nineteenth Century. The corner of the building is framed with a cast-iron column, embossed with the name of the manufacturer at the bottom: Howell & Saxtan of 353 Adams St. The building on the left is a laundromat. Its window is closed off with a rolling gate, and an exhaust pipe sits below the window. In between the two buildings, a weed juts out from a crack in the sidewalk, with a long stem and a few leaves at its very top, barely clinging to life.

Gowanus, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
In a toxic industrial neighborhood of Brooklyn, an abandoned warehouse sits next to an empty brownfield. The fencing around the field is rusted and starting to fall over. A few sheets of corrugated metal, painted grey, are attached to the fence, ready to fall off at any time. A single graffito is scrawled on the metal, in bright red spraypaint. I guess it’s the street artist’s name, but it also kind of looks like a duck. Behind the fence there are thick vines and weeds. The building next to the lot was once covered in graffiti, too, but the brick façade has been painted over many times in various shades of orange, red, and pink, giving it the appearance of a Rothko painting. All this would be torn down in 2022, to make way for a ginormous apartment building, which is still under construction.

Gowanus, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
One of the few remaining pay phones in New York City. Probably hasn’t been functional for over a decade. Covered in stickers. The frame it sits in is dented and misshapen. Surrounded by vines, wilting in the late summer heat.

Gowanus, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
A grey metal door with a shiny brass mail slot is blocked by a rusted metal pantograph gate. The door frame is painted sky blue, and the brickwork to the left of the door is painted orange-yellow. Another dark grey rolling gate is to the right of the door. The sun shines down from above, projecting a latticework shadow on the scene.

Greenpoint, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
A rolling gate covers a small door to an industrial building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The concrete walls are a stark white, which makes the brightly-colored graffiti stand out even more. On the right edge of the frame there is a much bigger rolling gate to a garage for large trucks to roll in and out of. There is some street art painted on that gate which looks interesting, but you can’t see most of it because it is cut off from the frame. I have decided to focus on the uglier and more chaotic graffiti next to it instead.

Greenpoint, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
A temporary construction trailer sits along a street corner in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It is surrounded by bright orange water-filled construction barriers, signaling to the world: do not crash into this structure! Stay away! Some of the barriers have flashing orange lights mounted on them, to make the warning even more imperative.

Sunset Park, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
As with the previous photo in this series, this depicts a scene underneath an overpass of an off-ramp to the Gowanus Expressway. This is a graffiti-covered concrete wall. The sun shines down from the top right of the frame, and the overpass casts a diagonal shadow, bisecting the frame such that the top left is in shadow, and the bottom right is in bright sunlight. Meanwhile, the ground itself slopes down from left to right, creating another diagonal line at a complementary angle to the shadow to provide compositional harmony. Even the art painted on the wall slopes downward to match the slope of the ground. Near the bottom right of the frame sits an abandoned a desk. Also, several unmatched shoes lie strewn across the ground. The concrete wall itself has vertical ridges carved into it, and to the right of the overpass is a chainlink fence. This very spot was once a vibrant section of a neighborhood filled with homes and shops and people on the street, and now it is dead space filled with garbage, imposed on the neighborhood by Robert Moses.

Sunset Park, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Underneath an elevated off-ramp to the Gowanus Expressway. There is a large support pillar, consisting of steel plates, painted green, and held together with an absurd number of rivets. The ground the pillar rests on is slanted downward, and is paved with cobblestones. The sun beats down from above, leaving the top half of the pillar in shadow. Above, the imposing steel framework of the roadway looms overhead. The Gowanus Expressway is a massively out-of-scale viaduct inflicted on the city by Robert Moses, bringing pollution, noise, and a overwhelming sense of dread to the people who live near its path. Its as if Moses saw the Fascist art of Italian Futurism and decided he would be the one to bring it to life, and stamp his boot down on the populace with a force even greater than the Futurists could ever imagine.

Sunset Park, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
A covered car sits on a driveway/lawn in front of a two-car garage. Behind the garage is a modest residential building. This is the opposite configuration than most of the buildings in this neighborhood (or most of the city, really). Most of the time, a townhouse sits on the front of the lot, which opens to a private garden in the rear. But occasionally, you see instances where the owner placed the garden in the front of the lot, and the building in the far rear, I guess in a bid for more privacy. Over time, one of the owners decided they were done with a garden, and fully embraced the suburban dream of a two-car garage, right in the middle of the big city. Except that now, it looks like the original intent of the garage has been abandoned. Instead of parking their car in the garage, it now sits in front of the garage, covered for long-term storage.

Carroll Gardens, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Photograph of the front façade of a bodega in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn. The bodega’s wall is covered in bright red paneling, but most of the walls and windows are covered in advertisements for beer and cider. You can see a little bit inside of the bodega, where there are cardboard boxes of beer, and also, weirdly, a Santa figure, even though this photograph was taken in August. Above the window is the remnants of a tattered cloth awning. This is a quite sad place, and I can assure you that the interior of the bodega is even more disgusting than the exterior. Yet the bright red color ultimately rescues the photograph from being completely dreary and disheartening.

Carroll Gardens, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Photograph of a closed storefront in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn. The entire front of the store is closed off by rolling gates. This would normally make the scene look dystopian and depressing, but here, the gates are painted in strips of jaunty colors! I see orange, blue, pink, yellow, and teal. A big win against the conspiracy to remove color everywhere. This is an unusual photograph from me in that it is cropped. I normally try to compose my shots in-camera as much as possible. Composing in-camera and not cropping is one of the main practices that improved my photography immensely. But here, I had to lop off the right part of the frame, changing the aspect ration from the normal 35mm 2:3 to 5:7. This improved the compositional harmony of the frame immensely. The right part of the frame was just dead space that added nothing to the photo. I could have just walked closer to the subject and composed the building tighter, but that would have involved me standing in the middle of Smith Street while taking the picture, which would have been a stupid thing to do. So I had to crop in post instead. So, anyway, if you want to get better at photography, get into the habit of composing your photos in-camera, and not cropping in post. It will improve your ability to look for photography subjects in the field, and the end product will be better. Pre-visualization, they call it, although I think that’s a stupid term. But also, crop when you gotta crop.

Chinatown, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Photograph of the front stoop of a building in Chinatown, Manhattan. This place is technically Little Italy, but that really isn’t a neighborhood any more, and only exists as a tourist destination. Indeed, this façade is now covered in awning, and is now an establishment that sells tchotchkes to tourists. At this time, however, the door and the rest of the building was covered in layers of red paint to cover up the graffiti, resulting in splotches of different shades of red. Some time between 2021 and 2022 the red door was replaced by one with large glass window panes, which is less likely to attract graffiti.

LES, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Photograph of some translucent plastic awning outside of a bodega in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The awning is quite dramatically lit from behind by the sun, rendering the colors of all the graffiti that is spraypainted on the awning quite spectacularly, including the helpful words WEAR A MASK, as this photo was taken during the height of the lockdown in 2020. If you zoom in, there is another flyer wheatpasted onto the awning that says “Think about the old folks please!” Above the awning is an Orwellian-looking security camera aimed down on the sidewalk.

LES, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Photograph of an empty store front in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The sign reads SAM’S KNITWEAR. The front window is covered in paper, and is closed off by a set of scissor gates. The front door has its own rolling gate housing, which is painted orange. Everything is old and dented and fading. All this signage and gating would be ripped down over the next few years, and is now a boutique that sells phenomenally ugly clothing to vapid Dimes Square millennials. It will go out of business in the next couple of years, as all of these NYC scenes inevitably disintegrate, and then thirty years from now, people will look at the faded BIG BUD PRESS signage and empty storefront and wonder what that was all about.

Red Hook, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Somewhat close-up photograph of the side of a building in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building is clad corrugated metal, which is covered in layers and layers of graffiti. All that spraypaint must not have been good for the galvanic coating of the metal, for now it is seriously rusted, all the way through in places, which is then patched with other sheets of corrugated metal. This patchwork of rusted metal had been going on for decades, making this one of the most visually interesting and photogenic buildings in the area, until finally, the siding was completely replaced earlier this year. I’m sad to see it go.

Brooklyn Heights, 2026 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Photograph of the front of a bar in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. This bar was Floyd’s, which closed last year after about 25 years in business. This photo was taken during the lockdown, when the bar was closed for several months. It eventually reopened, but New York had a dumb law that only bars that served food could reopen, so you had to order a slice of reheated frozen pizza with your beer, which you consumed at the tables they set up on the sidewalk. The space has now been sitting empty for over a year, far longer than it was shut down during the lockdown.

Boerum Hill, 2026 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Photograph of the front façade and window of a residential building in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. The façade is made of bricks, painted yellow-orange, although the paint has chipped off in some places. The image is punctuated by cage imagery: Above the window is a fire escape, which is not visible in the frame, however, the grid-like shadow of the fire escape and its ladder is cast below it. At the bottom of the frame is a cast-iron fence, which casts its own fleuret-capped grid across the frame. And the window has a metal pantograph shutter behind it, which also has a grid pattern. As this photo was taken a couple of weeks into the lockdown, the allusions to cages makes the photo seem a little more profound, at least to me.

Boerum Hill, 2026 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
The next photo in my aborted Metal Boxes Outside of Bodegas series. This is a photo of a metal box outside of a bodega in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. The box has a slanted cover, and is covered in red and green spraypaint. The sun hits the box at an advantageous angle, with just the right amount of light and shadow. One problem I’ve been having with this series is that most of the time when I come across one of these boxes, the light is terrible. The other problem is that the boxes are disappearing. This box was removed in 2022.

Brooklyn Heights, 2020 #BelieveInFilm #ProImage100
Photograph of a metal box outside of a bodega in Brooklyn Heights. I have a frustrating relationship with metal boxes outside of bodegas. I took this photo, which is *awesome*, and then another *awesome* photo of a metal box outside of a bodega on the same roll of film, which will be the next photo I post in a couple of days. And then on the very next roll of film, I took yet another *awesome* picture of a metal box outside of a bodega, which I will also post soon, and I said to myself, oh hey, I guess I’m working on a series of photos of metal boxes outside of bodegas now. And then, *nothing*. Over the next few years, I took lots of photos of metal boxes outside of bodegas, and they all *sucked*. Eventually, I got one more photo of a metal box outside of a bodega that was OK, but the rest were *garbage*. It didn’t help that the metal boxes outside of bodegas are all disappearing. This box is gone, as the next box in the series is. I’m not entirely sure what the boxes are for; I surmise they were for the overnight deliver of newspapers, so the bodega could get the early edition of the paper without them getting stolen, and that the reasons the boxes are disappearing is that nobody reads newspapers anymore. The lesson here is that the more I *think* about the photo I’m taking, the worse it is. I just have to shut off my brain and shoot photos. So sadly, I’m never going to finish my metal boxes outside of bodegas series.
