  The best way to see Brooklyn is to cycle the streets with a camera and/or smartphone in hand, all in order to not only explore the various urban landscapes and oases, but also to document them. Brooklyn might have been settled a few hundred years ago, but its character is more like that of a teenager, full of shifting, changing moods. It’s a kind of a photographer’s dream.

  Remember those balmy days when we could all take leisurely walks in the sun, sipping on iced coffee without a care in the world? Yeah, those are long gone. It’s cold out now, which means we’re far more inclined to stay indoors while drinking our coffee. And that coffee? It’s not iced anymore. While iced drinks are just fine to drink out of a plastic to-go cup, hot beverages benefit from something a little more substantial than a flimsy paper cup stamped with “We Are Happ
