Check back for details. What's The Hook? encouraged submissions from photographers of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. Photographers ranged in age from 6 to 85 . Local children including a group from Good Shepherd services summer program at PS 27 and seniors from the Red Hook Senior Center were given single use cameras.
