Documentary photographer Joshua Charow's Loft Law project and Loft Law: Photographs by Joshua Charow highlighted in The Financial Times by Hugo Lindgren.

 

"Working off a list of addresses he found online, [Charow] started pressing buzzers. By this time, of course, the moratorium on Brooklyn has long since lapsed. Artists had infiltrated every old industrial quarter of the city. Most of them had been living there quietly for decades, diligently pursuing their singular visions while the city around them turned into something unrecognisable from the one they had arrived in decades previously."
