Waterways of Brooklyn

(All photos ©D. Matlack 2004-2005)

My friend and fellow photographer, Fred Tannery, and I have been covering the Brooklyn waterfront, including Newtown Creek, which divides Brooklyn and Queens, the East River piers in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Red Hook, the Gowanus Canal, the Narrows, Sheepshead Bay, Coney Island Creek, Shellbank Creek, Mill Basin, Jamaica Bay, and more. I took the following shots during the Winter of 2004-2005.
