While many of my friends and co-workers escaped the city over Memorial Day weekend this year, I stayed in Brooklyn to relax and enjoy the quiet. Shopping in Manhattan felt like a ghost town and my local grocery store in the South Slope looked like it had been ransacked. I thought practically everyone in my neighborhood had left the city, too.
Until I went to Prospect Park.
The park was teeming with people; smoke from the barbecue grills rose all around us, and hundreds of people blasted festive party music. On a roundabout walk with our picnic blanket in tow, we ventured across the park to the dog beach to watch the puppies romp and the kids light up with joy. Of course I brought my medium format camera along to play, too! Enjoy some shots below of Prospect Park over Memorial Day, and I hope you had a fantastic holiday wherever you were!
