Jennifer & Daylan E-Session: NYC Brooklyn Area

In the 80s, Brooklyn was considered a "so-so" area. I lived in Queens and Queens was supposed to be somewhat better in crime rates compared to Brooklyn. Today, this story has changed. Brooklyn is clean, nice and family friendly. You see kids all over the place playing. People move away from Manhattan into Brooklyn. I was shocked when I walked out of the subway station into one of the Brooklyn streets. It was beautiful and clean.

Before the shoot, I usually prep my couples with a few things that I like to do. When we were talking, I saw steps outside of apartments. These are what I called the "NYC door steps". How can I NOT take a picture of them?! Jennifer and I both thought of the Cosby Show when we saw the steps. These steps have always cried New York to me.










Classic Brooklyn Bridge

No wonder the street in front of the house looks so clean..it's Hicks Street! That's bk heights, cobble hill, boerum hill area...that 'hood was never ghetto even in the 80s. The Huxtables lived in the fictional 10 Stigwood in BK heights. Now as for Bed-Stuy where Joanie and I live...that's on a block by block basis. Ours isn't too bad. And we live in a brownstone. Woo hoo. :)
