A Night in Brooklyn

Overhead (2013)

Hostel (2013)

For this post, I wanted to contrast Day in Brooklyn. At night time, the Brooklyn area is lit up with grand buildings and is very beautiful. The first two photographs are of the hostel my group stayed at. Overhead depicts the common area outside the rooms. The shades and lights create a good contrast between contemporary art and the old architecture of the building. I also like all the textures. Everything from the grass to the speckled wall to the tiled walkway is present. Hostel, shows the outside of the hostel. It is very urban and looks a little spooky at night. The building gives off a yellowed light, similar to ones given off in horror films. Also, the fact there are are no people or sense of movement in this photograph, gives off the idea that building could be abandoned. In particular, I liked the lines of the building the most. There are off several different thicknesses and colors. The pattern of lines is disorganized, raising the idea of controlled chaos. The building may be perfectly rectangular in shape, but the lines that make up the walls and windows are not. For Night Sky, I was standing by the water looking over at New York City. I like the boat that is visible and moving across the water. The city is busy and buzzing. The buildings are packed and each one has its own character. Compared to Brooklyn, New York City is populated and alive. For The Bridge, I was once again capturing New York City. The Brooklyn Bridge is what connects the two and it is smashing. The bridge is simple but beautiful with strings of lights that look like those on a christmas tree. I also like the trees that are present. One of the amazing things about being in these urban cities is not only the enormous skyscrapers, but also the invading present of greenery and nature. In a place filled with so much pollution and overrun by mankind, you would think that trees and greenery would not be able to survive, but this is false. There are several parks and greenery found in both New York City and Brooklyn. I hope you enjoyed this post, I plan on uploading some photographs of Central Park and New York City very soon. Make sure to check it out for the next coming week.
