Celebrating History and Events, the People, Culture, and Your Futuristic Vision

We’re looking for pictures of all types that shows the growth of Aqueduct Walk through the years and through the community’s eyes.

F.O.A.W (Friends Of Aqueduct Walk), a community park group for the people and a catalyst group supported by Partnership For Parks whose mission in part is to maintain, up-keep, and restore the beauty of Aqueduct Walk, has joined forces with Photoville, a non-profit that works to promote increased access to photography for all, to produce a public art project along Aqueduct Walk on E. 183rd Street.

Email submissions to [email protected]

Please make sure your submission is high resolution, so they can be printed on a banner!

What information am I required to supply in my submission?

Alongside your image files, you will need to provide:

• Captions: Tell us about your photo and how it shows growth of Aqueduct Walk
• Date: What year was this photo taken?
• Image credit (optional)
• Submitter Name
• Submitter Contact Info

* By submitting this photo, you acknowledge that this photo belongs to you or your family and you’re granting permission for it to be displayed in the Friends of Aqueduct Walk storytelling project.

How do I know if my photo is high resolution enough?

Ideally you have access to the original photo, either as a physical snapshot, or the digital file.

For digital files:
Did your file come straight from your camera or your phone? If so, it should be good to use. Avoid taking photos off of Facebook, the internet or social media. Those platforms compress photos to a resolution that’s too low to print for public art.

For physical snapshots:

Use a camera, or the camera on your phone to take a photo of the snapshot. Do this during the daytime when you can place the snapshot in an evenly lit area, so you can avoid using flash or a lamp, which can cause a glare in your photo.

What is the destination of the photos? What will they be used for?

Submitted photos will be collected in two ways:

1. They will be considered for display in a public art project activation along Aqueduct Walk, and used to promote and share this project.
2. They will also be added to Friends of Aqueduct Walk’s community archive to capture the history and stories of the park.

Will my photos be credited?

When you upload your photos, you may include a photo credit or stay anonymous.

What file types should be submitted?

You may submit any image file (JPEGS, TIFF, etc). The most important thing is that the file is high resolution so it can be printed on a large banner.

What happens to submitted photos not used?

All photos will be added to Friends of Aqueduct Walk’s community archive which may be used in the future.

Send us your photos of Aqueduct Walk through the years, celebrating History and Events, the People, Culture, and Your Futuristic Vision!
