Beyond The Gates

 

A picture I took today of The Brooklyn Bridge, standing from The Manhattan Bridge, 2017
– Isaac Tejeda

The picture is about how I see Brooklyn everyday. I am from Manhattan, this is my first year  entering the Brooklyn borough of New York. I always felt like I was fenced in from this borough in particular because, I never stepped foot in it till I was 19; my age now. So the hole in the gate on the Manhattan bridge reminded me how I have broken free. How I could only see it and it was always so far but, one day I would reach it. Also you can see my home Borough in the background with all the sky scrapers.
