10/23/89. Fire broke out at the original Sid's Hardware on Jay Street, Brooklyn, as construction workers were in the process of tearing down the neighborhood to make room for the new Metrotech Center. Huge clouds of smoke enveloped the area. Standing at the foot of a firetruck, with the ladder fully extended, I spotted this firefighter at the top of the ladder.

"Street Photography" is how Brooklyn Heights photographer Tom Callan describes his work. Before moving to New York over 25 years ago, Tom studied with Fred Ritchin, former editor of the New York Times Magazine, at the Maine Photographic Workshop. His photos have appeared on the front page of the New York Times as well as in the pages of the NY Daily News, NY Post, Newsday, Village Voice, Spy Magazine and numerous other publications. A native of Massachusetts, Tom has worked as a stringer for United Press International and the Associated Press. He graduated from Boston State College with a degree in Political Science. Tom's photos have regularly appeared in The Brooklyn Paper for over 25 years.
