Beard street before the fall

Beard Street. Fall 2004

I know that I have more Beard Street photos that I will post as soon as I have time to look through my archives. Over the last five years, I started taking photos of many buildings in my surrounding South Brooklyn neighborhoods to document the changes in the urban landscape. However many were shot on 35mm and need to be scanned. And the digital ones are scattered through hundreds of folders, as of yet untitled except for meaningless numbers.

In my mind, many of these images are a part of a larger project that I have been slow to get off the ground. The photos are just the beginning as I am ultimately interested in supporting them with history and memories.

This latest change in my immediate environment motivates me to find the time to get this going. Stay tuned...

On a side note, Corie and I are currently researching and developing a project regarding the haunting, yet beautiful Brooklyn Navy Yard officer quarters.If you haven't already looked at the amazing information that Corie has uncovered, please do.
