Wel\u00adcome to my pho\u00adtog\u00adra\u00adphy page, where I cap\u00adture the chill and calm nature of Brook\u00adlyn after dark. Each image tells a sto\u00adry of my jour\u00adney, start\u00ading from the cozy famil\u00adiar\u00adi\u00adty of my home street to the ener\u00adgy of the train sta\u00adtion. I explore the vibrant streets and parts you may not think of that get illu\u00admi\u00adnat\u00aded by glow\u00ading neon signs, the shim\u00admer\u00ading reflec\u00adtions on wet pave\u00adment, and the live\u00adly crowds that breathe life into the night. Join me as I share the mag\u00adic of \u201cthe city that nev\u00ader sleeps.\u201d Click on an image to view larg\u00ader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the sec\u00adond part of my pho\u00adtog\u00adra\u00adphy page, I focused on the sto\u00adry of Sgt. Pep\u00adper\u00adoni, a beloved piz\u00adza spot on UCon\u00adn\u2019s cam\u00adpus that was soon to be demol\u00adished. One of the own\u00aders, Sam Tohlus, agreed to revis\u00adit the store one last time and allowed me to take pic\u00adtures as she shared her mem\u00ado\u00adries and expressed how much she would miss this place and all the moments it held.
