Diversion II - Welcome to The Bronx

Should be viewed large...

Diversion

I'm currently in New York City this week, so I decided to break tradition and post this shot of the corner of 31st Street and 5th Avenue. This is located near Union Square...

Holliday Park Graffiti

Under the Meridian Street Bridge in Holliday Park...

Better if viewed large...

Looks Like 9th and Hennepin

Taken at the corner of Market and Pennsylvania...

This is best if viewed large...

This shot reminds me much of the Tom Waits song 9th and Hennepin:

Well it's Ninth and Hennepin

All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes

And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky

Like a tarp thrown all over this

And the broken umbrellas like dead birds

And the steam comes out of the grill

Like the whole goddamn town's ready to blow...

And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos

And everyone is behaving like dogs

And the horses are coming down Violin Road

And Dutch is dead on his feet

And all the rooms they smell like diesel

And you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept here

And I'm lost in the window, and I hide in the stairway

And I hang in the curtain, and I sleep in your hat...

And no one brings anything small into a bar around here

They all started out with bad directions

And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear

One for every year he's away, she said

Such a crumbling beauty, ah

There's nothing wrong with her that a hundred dollars won't fix

She has that razor sadness that only gets worse

With the clang and the thunder of the Southern Pacific going by

And the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet

til you're full of rag water and bitters and blue ruin

And you spill out over the side to anyone who will listen...

And I've seen it all, I've seen it all

Through the yellow windows of the evening train...

Off of Prospect Street

A few blocks east of Shelby, located behind Santorini's...

Pimpn' the Honda


Geneva Convention Fail...

Both are best if viewed large...

Miracle on 52nd Street

These were all taken at the corner of 52nd and College near Broad Ripple Village... I put quite a bit of detail in these shots, including snow and are best if viewed large (what a surprise huh?).

Stopped at Taste for breakfast, ended up having the bacon cheddar quiche; although it tasted great, I doubt its the healthiest thing around ;)

Blindly awaiting for sustenance; the glasses come off, because I hate wearing them when I shoot, but its a catch-22 because I can't see to operate the camera with them off..Oh well, I make it work.

It arrives, camera goes off, glasses go on :)

He Walks Alone I and II

The corner of Pennsylvania and Market Streets...


A few blocks to the south at the corner of Pennsylvania and Maryland Streets...

This should be viewed large...

The Survivors On Irish Hill

This area lies on almost complete abandon with the exception of a few old structures that have survived mass demolition and decay... All of the exact locations for these shots have been geotagged in flickr.

Backside

Not a very common sight in Indianapolis and this is why I cherish this alleyway. On Wabash Street, between Delaware and Pennsylvania Streets...

Going Feral

A colony of feral cats dominating an abandoned house near the corner of Washington and Highland on the near east side... I had to take this one at 250mm, for getting anywhere near them was out of the question; just taking this shot from across the street made them pretty nervous.

I know l sound like a broken record, but this shot contains copious amounts of detail and is much better if viewed large...

Alleyway Alpha

Behind the Hilbert Circle Theatre...

This shot has quite a bit of detail and is best if viewed large...

Virgina Avenue Light Show

Near Washington Street...

This shot has quite a bit of detail and is better if viewed large.

Inclimate Weather

The first three shots were taken near Pennsylvania and McCarty...

An alleyway near 9th and Pennsylvania...

Under I-65, looking at 12th Street, near Delaware.

The eastern plaza of the City Market...

Almost Symmetrical

Taken from North Meridian Street...

This shot is much better if viewed large...

Behind the Murphy Building

Behind the old G.C. Murphy Building which is on Virgina Avenue...

The shot above has quite a bit of detail to it and is bettere if viewed large...

Its Winter Time in Chatham Arch

Well, OK, the winter solstice doesn't arrive for another few weeks yet, but this weekend felt like winter. I walked a few streets of Chatham Arch taking advantage of the favorable lighting.

11th and College

11th and Park...This is once of the strangest ice shots I've ever taken; although I can't remember the last time I shot ice.

10th and Park

10th and Central

On Massacheusetts Avenue

Near the newest section of the Cultural Trail

Sherman and Brookville

On the Southeast side, two blocks of away from Christian Park...


I walked several hundred feet north to take some shots of the nearby PRR bridge...
