On a recent Sunday afternoon, photographer and Bright Mango co-founder John Barnett (@johnbarnett) led a group of Instagram photographers wearing Google Glasses on a photo excursion through Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Connecting two New York bridges, the pedestrian walkway runs alongside the East River and offers sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, which made the park an ideal place to see how well the computerized eyewear could capture a cityscape that’s already burned into our memories by television and film.
