THE NEW STORY OF BROOKLYN

Before it exploded into one of the hottest urban scenes in the world, Brooklyn was at a crossroads in the 1980s. My book is a trip back to that lost time and place, as seen through my photographs for a newspaper that no longer exists. For five years, I was anywhere and everywhere with my camera in “old Brooklyn.” This book is a tale of a special part of New York City, a fabled slice of urban America on the edge of transformation.

Let’s go beyond the core and out to the boroughs… the other New York City.  And there’s that alternate universe across the river — New Jersey.
