This photo is kind of funny for me.

When I took this photo, it was one of the first I took in years down at Furman Street, which is a very, very long strip of walking sidewalk that coincides with a highway, leading to the BQE.

Anyway, when I took this, there was this empty, lot area right on the street. This was before they fixed it up and made the new park. Someone, I assume construction workers had left these plastic angles out. It was a rainy day, but when I was out there, it was more cloudy and damp. The streets were very wet.

I took this photo, and knew that I would have fun editing it. So, when I got home, I edited it, and somehow, I did not not blur out the space between the first two cones. I look back at it, and I honestly can not remember if I did this by accident or purposely left it this way, but at any rate, I take it as a lucky mistake because looking at it now, the photo has so much more significance than it would have, had I just blurred everything out.

The way I see this photo, is kind of like, a window to that area. Yes, most of it is blurred, but the two spaces that are open are kind of giving you a preview to everything that you can’t see.

Even though logically I know where this photo was taken and even the time of day, for some reason, I feel as though looking at it now I can not recognize the area. Maybe because today what lies there now is a huge park under the Brooklyn Bridge and a jogging path, but this photo is almost like a vault for what was once there.
