Brooklyn Museum: Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition

Artist Statement

DUMBO it’s one of the most iconic Brooklyn neighborhoods, listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, this old industrial disctrict testify the industrial heritage of Brooklyn. Dumbo is a wonderful experience, every corner has a new vista and the dramatic cobblestoned streetscape shows his best. Today a rapid transformation from its old identity to a trendy residential area threaten to change his character forever. It is possible to transform this tiny enclave of brick warehouses without inappropriate restoration and demolition? This is definitely the Dumbo challenge. Digital Image. Blur effect treatment.

This is a dynamic representation of change and rebirth in harmony with a cherished icon of the past.

I think that this shoe captures the feel of the way DUMBO was right before the neighborhood did its big turn around. I'm not sure if that is from the "blur effect" or the actual image quality that was shot.

colors are great as well as the framing

This might be a good shot if the contrast weren't blown out and the colours wildly oversaturated - cool it with the Photoshop!

Illustrates a gentle beauty of an old area, and gives pleasure with the view through the square arch formed by the building. Wonderful depth and visual information.

Love that view of dumbo
