Gowanus is dead, Long live Gowanus.

I have expected to say this for at least a decade, and now, post COVID, it is finally here. The Gowanus I photographed for thirty years is officially dead, and the new Gowanus is here to stay. And it’s not my generation’s Gowanus by any stretch of the imagination.

This Gowanus will be enveloped with people and buildings to resemble the riverwalk in Providence, RI, or San Antonio, TX. The wild spirit that existed on its shores and waters is a thing of the past, along with many of its iconic structures and graffiti. Not all of it was bad and some of it was actually good.

Available on metal, acrylic and print in my Fine Art Print store.
