Get out the welcome wagon and visit Deborah Matlack's new blog, Brooklyn Rocks. She's a photographer, who was a contributor to Gowanus Lounge. I saw her speak briefly at the Memorial yesterday. Now that Gowanus Lounge is gone, I get the sense that she wants her blog to, in some way, photographically echo the concerns of Gowanus Lounge. In this post she expresses her fondness for Red Hook:
Since I had to move my car this morning because of parking regulations,
I decided to get up early and beat the sun to Red Hook, one of my
absolute favorite neighborhoods, I feel as though I'm going back in
time when I drive on those old cobblestone streets. I usually go around
sunset, never in the morning but I was not disappointed. Lots of
activity, many trucks around, busy workers. I love the water, some of
my favorite views are from Red Hook. I had the Ikea parking lot to
myself and availed myself of some photo ops.
