Finalist Faa Tv Photo Contest
February 8th, 2015 - New York, NY
Brooklyn Bridge Park and Willows has been voted into the finals of the National FAA Photography contest. Voting is open until end of Feb. 2015. After that Anne Geddes will select three 1st prize winners.
The photograph was taken with infrared film (Kodak HIE) in the mid 1990s by New York photographer Dave Beckerman. It has been featured in several books and used to promote a new printing process at Photo Expo in New York.
It should be noted that Brooklyn Bridge Park no longer looks like this as a carousel has been added to the area where the willow trees stood. At least that is what Mr. Beckerman was told by several people who know the park.
Some details of the image may not be so clear in this small web image, but in a decent sized print, there are mothers with baby carriages beneath the willow trees as well as children playing tag that are caught running from tree to tree.
It is still possible to vote at the More Information Link in this Press Release.
