New York City: East New York

New York City is a million things to a million different people. This is East New York, frequently regarded as one of the worst neighborhoods in Brooklyn, if not in New York City as a whole. The neighborhood can be scary at times, but I'm such a sucker for industrial landscapes, steel structures and urban decay. People tell me I'd have a field day in Detroit. I wish that I had taken advantage of my close proximity when I was in college. I also wish I had something better than a camera phone to take these pictures with, but this will have to do for now.

New York City: East New York

This is super cool. There is an unused rail line below that terminates in an huge, dilapidated steel-and-brick rail station that is fenced off by barbed wire. One of these f#cking days I'm jumping down here and following the rails to the station. Because that's what cool kids do.

Yo, New York...

Sometimes you ain't half-bad.
