What's The Hook?


What's The Hook? is a community based photography project designed to document one week in the life of Red Hook, Brooklyn, one of New York City's most unique and rapidly changing neighborhoods. Open to locals and visitors alike, "What's The Hook" encourages photographers of all backgrounds to submit digital images captured during the week of August 12th – 18th. This week has been selected as it begins with Red Hook Old Timer's Day, an annual event at Red Hook Housing that has been going on for more than 30 years.

The images produced during August 12th – 18th will be accessible on a dedicated website soon after the photographs have been submitted, and representative photos will be printed and displayed in a wide variety of Red Hook venues during the Fall and Winter of 2007 – 2008.

What's The Hook? encourages submissions from photographers of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.

What's The Hook? hopes to feature images from every possible time of day, angle of vantage, and facet of life that exists in Red Hook.
