![Sheepshead Bay photo](/content/images/3637/3368727309_943550e1f7.jpg "Sheepshead Bay photo")

I love this photo from Flickr user [bayrat](http://www.flickr.com/photos/35656655@N06/?ref=bklyner.com). It looks like it’s jammed outside of time; a dark, grainy film noir view of Brooklyn’s fishing culture. Bayrat, who comes from a family of Sheepshead Bay fishermen, wrote this about the photo:

> I took this picture in 1976, when my father and brother fished out of Sheepshead Bay. The background buildings are in Rockaway, the boat is 2 miles offshore, in the Ocean. The apartment buildings in the background were new construction at that time.
