On what wings dare he aspire?
This is a Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21 PFM, shot on the flight deck of the Intrepid Sea Air & Space Museum. According to the information posted at the museum, this…
Crosswalk No. 54
I continue to be torn between between the knowledge that the text that accompanies a photograph on a blog makes the experience much more interesting for visitors, and my hesitancy…
Déjà No
Manhattan is the big city, but it is also small enough that if you do a lot of exploring, probably as a young adult, you can start to wonder how…
Meta
The full text of this ad reads "Brush Up Your Business With Paint Paste Paper Push." The ad, on West Broadway at Reade Street, was apparently uncovered in 1994, and…
Bus Stop No. 51
I think if you look closely there's a bit less drama here than first appearances. I believe the woman on the left is explaining, not berating. Still, I do love…

Industrial Park

Tornado Aftermath Part 2
Please read yesterday's post for more information about why I'm posting this instead of my usual photo fare. As with yesterday, these are JPEGs straight from my Olympus Pen E-PL1 with…
New York Tornado
The title phrase is not something we locals are used to. As a result of the storm I am without power and cannot post any of my usual photos from…
Big City, Small Spaces
Yesterday I posted a new crop of a previously posted image. I like it, and most people did also, but one reason I made the orignal composition is because, as…
Railroad In The Sky [Square Cut]
So maybe this is filler, but as I've explained in earlier posts, I'm skipping today's usual installment of a Crosswalk series photo to better sync the numbering of the Crosswalk…
