I spent a day photographing textile and jewelry designer Caitlin Mociun at a few of her favorite Brooklyn-based shops -- Saffron, Greenhouse and Erie Basin (also a few of my own favorite shops!). Below are selected outtakes from the day. The book is available for purchase from Lines & Shapes.

The book is divided into categories of walk, eat, shop, home, and studio, and the artists profiled have shared their favorite (often lesser known) Brooklyn spots, making it a perfect, unconventional guide book for those planning to visit. introduction written by Eric Demby, co-founder of the Brooklyn Flea.
