Skybridge, Greenpoint

The Terminal Market Warehouse along the East River is demolished after a massive fire which threatened to destroy a large section of Greenpoint. The contents of the warehouse at time of destruction, and the nature of contaminants released by the fire was unknown. From a series on land use in North Brooklyn and the proximity of sources of industrial contamination to residential areas. Colors are not manipulated, they are the result of several-hour exposures in various lighting/weather conditions.

In the Brooklyn Nights photo essay.
