This Summer was a unique and seemingly plotless film filled with many moments of beauty that have to be seen to be believed. Following an amazing summer in the home base of our world, Brooklyn, captured through through the lens of Erez Avissar’s camera, and burned in our brains are these reminders that we’ve experienced something special and unequivocally unique. The neon golden glow that enveloped us over the summer was so real it leaked right onto the images we managed to expose amidst cleaning that caramel crooklyn sludge off the camera, but oh was it good. Summer’s just now ended, and as we transition into a new season, and thus a new chapter of this journey, these photos already evoke an instant nostalgia. The music, the parties, the people, and the times. All of us, at least once, shouting in the name of love. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
