An Afternoon by the Water // Current

These images and words attempt to demonstrate the strange and wonderful balance of art, industry and nature that is found around the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, NY. It is a balance that will be difficult to sustain as the neighborhood undergoes gentrification.

- Nice piece. It will be interesting to see a video about today and tomorrow and how things have changed a few years from now. Especially the price for those lofts.

- Great piece. Whenever there's traffic on the BQE, I always take the local roads below and it was always disheartening to see the effects of industry. I haven't noticed the positive transition yet, since I haven't been by that area for a while, but perhaps one day, it'll be a complete transformation just like Williamsburg.
