Brian's work focuses on the west end of Long Island. He is considered the leading authority on the history of Kings County, known to most of us as Brooklyn. That is where he was born and raised.  Brian's website, www.Brooklynpix.com, offers 2,000 images selected from his important archive of early Brooklyn and New York City. Photos from his collection have been used to create bank murals, restaurant and office decorations, have been seen on many television show sets, and have been used in Ken Burns-directed documentaries.
