Pete of Brooklyn's photostream |
"Everyone has a photographic memory, but not everyone has film"
"A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into" ~Ansel Adams
My name is Peter and I was born in Brooklyn, NY descended from four generations here in Brooklyn. I try to utilize the world in which I was raised to create an image that can be discussed and remembered.
Opinions and criticisms are always welcomed and thank you for taking a look at the world from my viewfinder.

SeanieDawg says:
"Where do I begin when discussing the photostream of "Pete of Brooklyn"? Well, I'd like to start off by saying that I am truly awed and inspired by his passion, and attraction towards all things NYC, namely; the BK. Pete doesn't just look at things, he SEES them, in a way that is so unique, so rare, and so wonderfully frozen in perpetuity through his lenses that it makes viewing his photostream a very singular experience. What makes his photos even more enjoyable, is how he maintains the integrity, and authenticity of his subjects. A great photo stands on it's own and Pete of Brooklyn demonstrates that with every addition to his collection. Talent, appreciation, re-creation, and humility. I admire Pete wholeheartedly and wish Flickr had more members with his approach. He is an inspiration.
With all sincerity,
