Artist Statement

Living in New York for just five years now, I have seen the gentrification of Brooklyn neighborhoods develop at an astonishing rate. I stitched together this three-shot panoramic image of Grand Army Plaza because it effortlessly shows the division of Brooklyn architecture of the past (on the left) and where the future of Brooklyn architecture is headed (Richard Meier's building on the right).

This shot is a great example of the "changing faces of Brooklyn". Very well done shot.

Fantastic image!

Really excellent image that clearly demonstrates the changing face of Brooklyn.

But the cyclist has chosen the past....as the pedestrian has...

Really nice work by way overexposed.

well-planned and executed. Slightly off center, but it doesn't seem to detract from the image.

the diverging roads makes for great effect, notice there's no road that leads back to the old,

Gorgeous panoramic.

The cyclist works wonderfully to both give interest in the foreground and to make you think about which route to follow, left to the old, or right to the new?

scale light movement detail and breadth.

Great idea. I don't know if the buildings represent the idea clearly enough....

color too washed out. too bad. nice panorama

I love this picture because there are bicycles and I like that there is a new building and an old building. — Posted by olivia g
