Perusing my archives, I came across this series of images, unused for this website. All were taken in DUMBO in 2006, the inaugural year for New York Daily Photo. The photo series illustrates the dramatic scenery in this Brooklyn neighborhood and what draws people there. The Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, East River and Manhattan vistas, a rocky beach, superb post-industrial architecture, and cobbled streets, all packaged in a sequestered corner of New York City, yet so conveniently located by public transportation. With so many pluses, it’s so easy to sell. You can hear the broker’s pitch now, flaunting his trump card – and it’s only One Stop from Manhattan…
What else can I say – these photos are just splendid, indeed all aspects captured in one neat package.
Rose – thanks. Dumbo makes a spectacular subject. Drama abounds.
Wonderful photos, as always. Dumbo is kind of a hidden gem, and it’s got great views too. The cobblestone streets take me back in time to my days in Philadelphia. Congrats on 7 years!
