I love my neighborhood, Crown Heights Brooklyn. At night, lit only by the street lights, there are typically people out, and traffic at all hours. During the wee hour of the morning on Sunday, this was not the case, as we were in the midst of a snow storm. Certainly not the biggest we’ve had, which allowed me to go out and photograph. I was only out for a couple of hours and didn’t go too far, but this is what I saw.

Some beautiful snowscapes! Wondering if the reflecting ligh from the snow made things difficult?
Thanks for sharing.
February 11, 2013 at 11:06 pm
I love how desolate the streets look. Not one sign of life.
February 14, 2013 at 4:08 pm
Me too!
February 17, 2013 at 1:22 am
I agree – true beauty
February 12, 2013 at 6:19 pm
Great captures!
February 12, 2013 at 6:48 pm
This is what we have every year here in Scandinavia….. and we don’t stay inside 🙂 Anyway, nice pics and interesting to see how the streets are empty in a major city of the world.
February 12, 2013 at 7:21 pm
Good shots,which lens do you use?
February 13, 2013 at 3:32 am
Deserted and yet pristine and beautiful. Great job conveying the feel of your neighborhood during the snowstorm. Really enjoyed the series.
February 13, 2013 at 6:20 pm

Fabulous shots, I moved to the tropics from central Canada, you are making me homesick 🙂 yup … palm trees are great, but missing the snow.
February 13, 2013 at 6:27 pm
To a x-country skier your neighborhood looks like heaven. Someone needing to drive might have a different view, eh?
February 13, 2013 at 6:31 pm

Simply amazing photographs. I can’t wait to see more photos from you!
February 13, 2013 at 7:23 pm
I love how the trees (not the conifer in the last pic) look so unreal, stylised with snow on their branches.
February 17, 2013 at 5:25 pm
My thoughts exactly!
February 13, 2013 at 7:25 pm
What awesome snowy pictures. I hope you didn’t catch a cold while taking these!
February 13, 2013 at 7:37 pm
So beautiful. I live in a northern city, so we have several feet of snow from late October to mid-March. Somewhere in there, though, I forget to really see the snow, the contrasts, its softened drape and crystal repose. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂
February 13, 2013 at 7:46 pm
Gorgeous photos. We got hit pretty hard in CT, and it definitely makes for some beautiful scenery. I put up some photos a couple of days ago, because it was impressive how much snow we got! Thanks for sharing these, and congrats on being freshly pressed!
February 13, 2013 at 7:50 pm
Beautiful
February 13, 2013 at 7:52 pm
Your pictures are wonderful. They capture that heavy silence that comes with a thick blanket of snow. So peaceful.
February 13, 2013 at 7:59 pm
I like the pictures a lot. The neighborhood seems so quite making to forget of the storm.
February 13, 2013 at 8:02 pm
Beautiful photos…looks like a forgotten city
February 13, 2013 at 8:16 pm
These photos are stunning! Thanks for sharing them. I live in San Francisco now, but for as a college student in Boston, I visited my Manhattan-based sister all the time and have never really gotten over my love for NYC. One of the things I think about the most now that I’m a Californian again is the way a city feels after a snowstorm — quiet, white, blanketed, no sign of people. That’s something we don’t get out here. Thanks for visually letting me in to the snowstorm I missed!
February 13, 2013 at 8:37 pm
Nice work.
You live in one of the Hipster capitals of the world!
February 13, 2013 at 8:48 pm

February 13, 2013 at 8:51 pm
The snow makes everything look so much more beautiful, love the snaps.
February 13, 2013 at 9:14 pm
Beautiful. It is so rare to get to photograph New York without people in the shots.
February 13, 2013 at 9:16 pm
Your pictures give me the chills. They are so brilliant and unique, I like!
February 13, 2013 at 9:55 pm

Great pictures! It looks so peaceful, a blanket of snow.
February 13, 2013 at 11:14 pm
your photos are gorgeous, I love the one under the bridge of the LIRR, the black and white really makes the scene even more beautiful.
February 13, 2013 at 11:41 pm
Congratulations on being “freshly pressed”! Thanks for bringing back childhood memories of snow falls in Brooklyn. I remember watching the snow come down in the late ’60s from my second floor window of my family’s brownstone on 4th Street in Park Slope and the excitement of going in the 3rd Street entrance to Prospect Park and entering a magical world. Great memories! Great Photos!
February 13, 2013 at 11:49 pm
Beautiful. I almost felt like I was there. Love fresh fallen snow and how it glistens like powered diamonds. And NYC and all the boroughs are so pretty when covered in snow. Thank you for sharing with us!
February 13, 2013 at 11:54 pm
…beautiful… I grew up somewhere it doesn’t snow… (rain is a poor substitute, a very poor second cousin!)… I now live in a place where we get a coupla inches every 2-3 winters…. I still get annoyingly enthusiastic about snow bearing weather forecasts …I still wake up at 3 in the morning to go out and take pic’s and enjoy the silence…
…I still get excited about the coming winter (still 3 months off in the southern hemisphere)…
…especially when I see photographs like this…beautiful.
February 14, 2013 at 12:23 am
Looks like a post card from Xmas but glad not to have it
February 14, 2013 at 12:29 am
Great photos! I think my favorite is Atlantic Avenue under the LIRR
February 14, 2013 at 12:49 am
Nice photoshoot. Idea: wait until summer and go back to all these very same locations and retake all these shots from the very same angles and we’ll all meet you back here for a “Before and After the Snow” montage. Is it a date?
February 14, 2013 at 1:17 am
Hi Jeremy! I like the ghosts of footprints in the snow. As I scroll through your other images, I’m reminded that trees are prettiest in winter when covered in snow.
You’re fortunate to live in a neighbourhood which inspires you, and which you love. All the best as you continue capturing images you find there and abroad.//mm
February 14, 2013 at 2:02 am
Nice pictures but I love the last one 🙂
February 14, 2013 at 2:22 am

February 14, 2013 at 3:00 am
I grew up in the midwest, but have lived in California for the past thirty-two years. Loved the pictures of the snow. I am in Chicago visiting my son and his family and built a snowman with my grandkids. It brought back wonderful memories of my childhood. Thank you for sharing your unique pictures. Nice work
February 14, 2013 at 3:11 am
That might just be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!

The pictures are great! I like the way you captured the neighborhood during the storm. also like how the street lights turned out as more of stars than man-made objects
February 14, 2013 at 4:48 am
Great pictures. I live on Long Island and was snowed in for days. I forgot how beautiful the snow can be. So peaceful looking. Your 1st picture labled Bergen Street is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing!
February 14, 2013 at 4:50 am
Whoa, you were lucky to get while most of the snow was still undisturbed. That happens pretty fast here. As a kid, I can remember thinking that my work wasn’t done until there were footprints over every square inch of the backyard.
February 14, 2013 at 5:34 am
You take great photos. I liked a number of them. Looking forward to your next posts.
February 14, 2013 at 5:35 am

I feel like I know Brooklyn a little better now. Thanks.
February 14, 2013 at 11:59 am
Photos are beautiful and I especially like that most of them show “untouched” snow. It gives them a more of a surreal effect. Well done.
February 14, 2013 at 12:02 pm
I loved these photos and especially loved this documentary that let me take a walk through the snow in your neighborhood early one morning without so much as a parka or boots.
February 14, 2013 at 12:05 pm
great job
February 14, 2013 at 12:09 pm
Wow, beautiful photos, it’s amazing to see the streets so deserted. Under the train track is my favorite 🙂

February 14, 2013 at 1:07 pm
Lovely photos. The one thing I love about snow falls like this is how peaceful and quiet the surroundings are at those moments. Your images remind me of that feeling when all you may hear is the crunch of your own foot step. Congrats on being Pressed!
February 14, 2013 at 1:13 pm
Beautiful, I love the B&W. Snow makes for an awesome canvas
February 14, 2013 at 1:45 pm
Great work! Isn’t snow fantastic for photography: eye candy everywhere you look… my only lack has been photography skill and such. I have great fun with my phone, the results these days are far better than I deserve, but you complete the package: talent, clearly. Thanks. Unless you mind, I plan to re-post your work in my blog.

You got hit with a snowstorm like we did in Massachusetts… It was so picturesque… And I love your pictures! I should have taken pictures of where I lived, but I would not have been successful walking in 25 inches of snow. 😀
February 14, 2013 at 2:37 pm
Gorgeous photos! I’ve taken some during the storm around Grand Army Plaza, Park Slope, and Prospect Park (so pretty close to Crown Heights).

This is a stunning collection of snow-scapes. It’s so wonderful how a little bit of nature can interupt our lives and make things look so surreal. Fantastic post. Definitively a favourite 🙂 – I may even use one as a desktop background if you don’t mind?
This post is just what i needed to cheer me up thanks!
February 14, 2013 at 3:31 pm
Wow. You captured the moment pretty clearly.
February 14, 2013 at 3:35 pm
A serene silence, almost a bygone era captured here.
February 14, 2013 at 4:21 pm

Nice photos!! You’re making me want to take out the camera and snaps some black and white. Snow is so hard to photograph and I rarely see it in Seattle anyway.
Good job!
February 14, 2013 at 5:29 pm
These photos are great. I love near Columbus Circle – it is amazing to see how different our neighborhoods look even though we are so close!
February 14, 2013 at 5:59 pm
Oh my goodness! These pictures are so beautiful! They embody everything that I love about snow and what it does to the surroundings! Some of them look so surreal… Thanks for sharing such great snaps 🙂
February 14, 2013 at 7:03 pm
Great photos! They work really well in b&w. Obviously the first one of Bergen street is just amazing and so magical. Apropos snow and Bergen…that is the name of a city in Norway (where there are mountains of snow in the winter). In the second picture, the tree looks majestic somehow. Number seven @Kingston Avenue is also pretty cool- I like the depth. There’s another picture that stuck out to me: the 11th one (of St. Andrew’s playground that would be I think)…it’s simply beautiful.
February 14, 2013 at 8:27 pm
So magical. It takes me back to my days in the Bronx, walking on the fresh snow in the late evening with my dog. Thank you, Jeremy.

February 14, 2013 at 11:42 pm
Beautiful pictures. Your neighbourhood looks lovely. Living in a city in rainy old England, such sights are rare. And I love snow for it has a unique elegance to it: not only is it capable of covering but further beautifying all that it comes in contact with. Snow is an inspiration.
February 14, 2013 at 11:47 pm
I can hear the quiet. I can feel the cold. Amazing!
February 15, 2013 at 4:46 am
I love how the snow sticks to the branches of the trees and weighs them down. That’s my favorite! Beautiful photographs. Thanks for sharing.

I love how people who live in places where snow isn’t such a common thing, are able to show the beauty of it. I live in Latvia, which is near Russia, Finland, Sweden, and snow and cold winters is “the way it is”, and lots of us can’t wait for snow to melt and summer to start. So I’m really thankful that there are people like you, taking beautiful photos of snow and reminding us how lucky we actually are 🙂
February 15, 2013 at 3:29 pm

This is the first time I’ve seen photographs–of that wonderful, “SILENT NIGHT!” What’s
interesting to me is that we had the same idea! I also took several photos of my neighborhood.
My photographs were not taken with any expensive camera, but the photos were also amazing.
They were so peaceful, and your right The Bronx was so clean, tranquil, and void of darkness.
I love what snow does to our surroundings . . . I always have! I posted one of my photos take a
look. Thanks for sharing! Hope to hear from you again in my blog! ~~B~~
February 17, 2013 at 7:43 pm
Wow – great photos ! I can feel the cold breeze. In Norway, we have snow from November to April. It is beautiful, but we all miss the sun and the Spring. However, if you are not yet tired of the snow and cold, you can visit ‘the Ship in the Ice’ at the archipelago of Svalbard. It is a spectacular sight: http://thornews.com/2013/02/17/the-frozen-in-hotel-noorderlicht/

I love pictures of the city under snow. These are excellent pictures!
February 18, 2013 at 2:18 pm
Wow! Great shots. I feel cold just looking at them. Thanks.
February 18, 2013 at 4:38 pm
Really enjoyed these. I live in a rural area, but I remember how special snowfall in the city could be.
February 18, 2013 at 7:18 pm
I love the look of snow on photographs about as much as I hate actual snow on the ground. On photos, it looks peaceful, shimmery and almost romantic. Under the tires of my car it’s a squishy, dirty, dangerous mess! Great pics!
February 18, 2013 at 8:24 pm
Quiet. And beautiful. Well done.
February 19, 2013 at 12:56 pm
The shot of the benches and their snowy cushions against the brick wall could be a Hockney or a Warhol – fantastic

Gorgeous photographs! I took a few shots with my cell phone camera from my bedroom window (Gowanus) but kudos to you for trekking it out there. So worth it to see these beauties! PS – Love your passion for your neighborhood!
February 20, 2013 at 9:48 pm
Pretty nice shots! My favorite season is winter because of the celestial vibe given off by snow. To me, it appears that those who hate winter simply can’t enjoy what nature has to offer.
February 23, 2013 at 1:20 pm
WOW, You’re a great photographer. I’ve seen snow this bad in Minneapolis during the 1980s. Now I live in Reno and we have none here and most likely won’t for the remainder of winter.
