Cooperage at the corner of America's largest-ever oil spill, which sits decades old under a large section of North Brooklyn below Newtown Creek. From a series on land use in North Brooklyn and the proximity of sources of industrial contamination to residential areas. Colors are not manipulated, they are the result of several-hour exposures in various lighting conditions.

In the Brooklyn Nights photo essay.

    These images, particularly Cooperage and Treatment Plant, are spectacular. I'm very interested in night-time photography and I guess that my reasons for being so taken with these is that the modus operandi extends the game further (i.e. they were not just taken at night!). I guess too that these exemplify photography's extraordinary capacity to transform what is in front of the lens. Essentially, these images do not show how it was but rather how through a succession of moments and times they have been thought about and transformed. Also, they illustrate how something that is not in itself particularly 'attractive' - whatever that means - can be made beautiful. Big thanks

    This is a very great shot as well as beautiful. Something about that truck in the middle really has captured my attention. Well done!
