How to stay a step ahead of a moving storm.

We’re getting ready for the storm season. You should be, too. A good way to start is by updating your contact information with Con Edison. Stock up on fresh batteries. Make sure your family knows to stay away from downed electrical wires. And if you lose power, contact us online at conEd.com or by phone at 1-800-75-CONED.

ART Pics in a box Who let the art out? Photoville is once again unboxing a slew of amazing photography from its stuffy gallery set- ting and transforming the scenic Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 5 into an outdoor photo exhibit featuring shipping containers, a beer garden, and food. “While Photoville offers plenty for the photo industry insider to appreciate, it is truly a populist event,” said Blake Zidell, a Photo- ville spokesman. The free attraction Photo by Elizabeth Graham will feature 40 exhibitions, including photojournalism from NBC News’s Ann Curry and The New York Times, according to a spokesman for Brooklyn-based art organization United Photo Industries. (718) 260–2500 September 20–26, 2013 During the ten day festival, visitors can check The Brooklyn Paper’s essential guide to the Borough of Kings out the photos on their lunchbreak, or go for a night out to see film screenings, panels, photography workshop (there’s a “Guide to Rock Photography!”), and a food and beer garden. This is the second year of the festival. Photoville at Pier 5 of Brooklyn Bridge Park (Enter at Furman Street and Joralemon Street, www.photovillenyc.org). Sept. 19–29; hours vary. $3 suggested donation. A living history — Jaime Lutz BOOK ‘The Storm’ targets the Coney Island Film Festival By Will Bredderman Found you!
