What I saw in Sunset Park, Brooklyn: Wine around the corner

Sweet Bitch wine, originally uploaded by veesvision.

Just when I think the wine selection in Sunset Park, Brooklyn was getting better...

Who am I kidding? I had to try it. Wanna try it too? Found at the liquor store on 5th between 44th and 45th street. Just be prepared for a headache the next day.

What is Sunset Park Stills?

Sunset Park Stills is a photo blog. Mainly photographs of landmarks or happenings in the area. On occasion, if there is some extra information that I did not know or perhaps not widely known, I'll add it in.

Being a photographer myself, I naturally looked for images of the area in which I reside. Finding very few, I went on a personal photo journey and shot just about everything I saw in Sunset Park.

The neighborhood is harmoniously divided between eastern and western cultures. What I have found is that this part of Brooklyn, is fundamentally the same as any other town in the USA. We've got churches, parks, dancers, hipsters, artists, skaters, writers, and entrepreneurs. All of us working class trying to make our way in the world.

Hopefully, you have enjoyed looking at this micro neighborhood though my (and my neighbor's) eyes. Maybe it's just a place to some, for others like myself, it's a live documentation of Living the American Dream.
