Water and Main Street Juxtaposition

While my colleague Joe and I ventured through Dumbo we stumbled across what seems to be an old warehouse building and in the far distance a large skyscraper under construction is overlooking it. It peaked my interest as soon as I lay eyes on it because it’s ironic to see such an old  factory building in an already gentrified area and overlooking it a high-rise building that is just being constructed. The exact location of the old factory building is 35 Main Street & Water Street, and the location of the yet to be complete skyscraper is difficult to find. The second photo got me even more interested in the this juxtaposition. it’s the same spot but the photo was taken in October of 2007. I love seeing photos from the past and comparing it to what it is now, it’s the best way to relive a moment of a time that I wasn’t there for.
