Red Hook

Recently, while doing some location scouting, I had the opportunity to explore the Brooklyn, NY neighborhood known as Red Hook.

I just love Red Hook’s textures and colorful past (present and future;) so it was hardly “work” having to spend several hours on a gorgeous, clear summer day wandering around Red Hook.
