About Gowanus

Photos chronicling the past, present and future of one of Brooklyn's most storied, but least appreciated neighborhoods.

Of particular interest will be chronicling the changes in store for this area as zoning and demographics evolve over the next few years.

The tugboats moored on the Gowanus
Canal are mourning tonight, letting out long
humid notes that echo in the machine
metal valley between South Brooklyn
and the Slope. Bells of surviving
Red Hook churches sound the hours
as old men add up their points
and cough up their dough
in the private cafe backrooms...
