It's broad daylight and pretty well lit despite the shadows, but something about this alley is not at all inviting.
It's funny how I keep covering the same themes as I write about the images in this series, because the issues I keep covering aren't necessarily related to the subject…
J.K. Rowling stole my pun. The photo does not really show it clearly, but the elevated subway train tracks and this alley cut on a sharp diagonal through a city…
Continuing our travels under the M Train, this crossing at Woodward Avenue provides the best view of the street level tracks that used to run through these back lots. The…
This image shows the M Train elevated subway just after the turn in yesterday's image, as it leaves Palmetto Street and starts its past through back alleys and mid-bloc crossings.…

So apparently NYC is building one of those alien transport machines from the movie Contact, or the gravity drive from the movie Event Horizon. Either way, you will be able…
The plaza in fron of the Seagram Building on Park Avenue is one of the city's most successful public/private spaces. I admire the building management for trying new things every…
Another shot of the Silvercup sign. I think I'm going to keep shooting it until I get it perfect. On a business note, I want to mention that B&H…
