Greenpoint Open Studios, This weekend

Recently, I moved into a new studio space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The studios are in a new collective studio setup called Fowler Arts Collective. This weekend we are participating in Greenpoint Open studios. I have displayed some finished work from my current series, Imaginary Wars, and some in-progress prints on the walls. Please stop by, look around, and sign the guest book. Unfortunately, I am on a last minute shoot this weekend and will not be in the area. Let me know if you go.

Fowler Arts Collective is located on the second floor of the historic Greenpoint Terminal Market Building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Our address is 67 West Street between Noble St. and Milton St on the second floor. We are on the waterfront two blocks from the Greenpoint Ave. G Train stop.

Domino Sugar Factory

In a recent issue of The L Magazine (Vol. 8 No. 17 August 18 – August 31), I photographed their lead cover article, “Williamsburg’s Last Domino: A Gentrification Time Bomb?.” Here are the images from that story and several additional shots below.
