Brooklyn Diasporism

Zach Barocas, Diasporist Diarist

I’m Zach Barocas. I’m a drummer (I play Ludwig Drums), sometime poet (though not lately — see below for links), a publisher, a somewhat cranky cinephile, an amateur photographer, and a stationery shop owner in Brooklyn, New York City.

Mostly Mornings

A tumblr blog of photographs spanning several years, taken mostly and eventually only in the morning, and eventually mostly from the same position of the same tree. I abandoned the project in 2018.
