Better Days
Another shot from the highway here. I do wish I managed to get it without the pole, but I did end up with a couple of nice golden mean and…
Night Bloom in Winter
Last December and January confronted New York with some of the most long-running bitter cold I can remember. So far, this year has been a most pleasant contrast. I saw…
St. Mark’s Sounds
I don't think they have changed the sign in 30 years. When I first started making the trip downtown to St. Mark's Place all those years ago, this was usually…
Roods Creek Diner Revisited
Last summer I took a drive up Route 17 for the sole purpose of shooting this and two other abandoned diners along its route. The drive to my in-laws on…
Flagship Securities Building
This is the Flagship Securities Building, about which I know very little other than it was built in 1896 with a Neo-Classical design, and is located in Hanover square in…
All That You Left Behind
I shot this using the same technique as in this image of the Hugh O'Neill building about 2 blocks away, allowing me to capture much more in a vertorama of the…
Addiction Ink
It's back to my tour of St. Mark's Place, and the storefront, including neon, of Addiction Ink. I do not have a shot of this entire building, but I was…
Mending and Encouragement
When I saw this I was pretty certain it was one of two things, an possibly both: either (1) an art project, or (2) a blog and potentially book project.…
Heid’s Of Liverpool
When my older daughter was about 2-3 years old, I sometimes played a restaurant game with her. She had her toy dishes and kitchen utensils, would ask me what I…
Niagara Mohawk Building at Night
This was built in 1932, and originally known as the Niagara Hudson building. Within a few years the name switched to Niagara Mohawk. Now owned by National Grid, the name…
Head Of A Cow Goddess (Possibly Hathor)
This might be the goddess Hathor. Apparently we are not certain. One of the things I like about shooting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art is the lighting. There are…
Foggy Graveyard
I have trouble finding interesting subjects to shoot in my home neighborhood. I don't know if it's my mindset or if the area actually lacks for subjects, but I suspect…
Complexions
While the economy has certainly increased the number of boarded up buildings the past 2-3 years, as well as the prevalence of graffiti, I am also certain that I started…
First and Ten
I think I just came up with a great, if obvious, name, for a sports bar at this corner of First Avenue and 10th Street. This is straight out of…
West 14th Street 2010
It has been a while since I posted some street work. This has been sitting in my library for over a year. I crossed the street to get a shot…
South Bronx Sunset
Another shot taken on the drive home from Syracuse on Thanksgiving weekend. We really could not have better timed the trip through New York City, cutting through parts of Manhattan,…
