Baltimore Brew snaps Boog’s sink on “The Daily Camden”
The Brew recently participated in The Daily Camden, a project in which photographers snap a-photo-a-day from Oriole Park at Camden Yards, during the nearly six-month baseball season.
My day, July 14, was quiet — it was the All-Star break, so no game. That allowed me to focus on little details, things you miss in the hub-bub of a game day. I wandered in from the Eutaw Street entrance (the gates were open, a few tourists were there) and this sink was what caught my eye over at the Boog’s Barbecue.
Perhaps a true fan would have had some reaction to the Brad Bergeson cup but all I could think about was the gooey globs of sauce from pit beef that would soon enough be shmeared all over the sink. (Cue the Homer Simpson-esque line “Mmmmm, pit beef.”)
The project, brainchild of Brew contributor and writer-about-town Rafael Alvarez, is on the excellent zeitgeist-of-the-city site, Welcome to Baltimore, Hon.
Rafael has variously explained the project as having been insipred by Euegene Smith’s The Pittsburgh Project and by the Harvey Keitel character in the movie “Smoke,” who photographs the same cigar store day after day.
Brew contributor Jennifer Bishop also did a really beautiful photo for them in May. Alvarez’ favorite shot so far?
“The kid from Pigtown with bloody knuckles because he’d been in a fight the night before.”
