Mirage

Just a little bit of ducks in duotone on this Sunday evening.  The Lower East Side skyline from the Brooklyn Waterfront, near the Williamsburg Bridge.

Foot of the Bridge Photography I, The Manhattan Side

This post is a collection of scenes from the foot of the 59th / Queensboro / Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge on the Manhattan side of the East River.

Crowded skyline view full of fire escapes, bridges, pylons, signs, cables, and air conditioners.  Taken from 60th street, near 1st Avenue.

I have to admit, the wonderful blur here was actually an accident, courtesy of a large smudge on the lens.  Taken at the corner of 60th and 3rd.

The Roosevelt Island skyline, Roosevelt Island Tram, and the bridge taken from the East River Waterfront Esplanade. 

Demonstrating the scale of perspective that is New York City.  Manhattan, the FDR, East River, Queens, Brooklyn, and many other NYC items all under the watchful eye of the Queensboro Bridge.

Good Morning Chinatown

These shots were taken in Chinatown, at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge. It was a chilly fall morning about 6:00am; I exited the the subway and walked towards the East River because I wanted to get some strong sunrise shots over the water. This motivation was fueled by the fact that it had been raining for days, followed by more overcast skies. A certain excitement was upon me for autumn is my favorite season for photography. Autumn is comfortable and colorful to both my lens and I and provides a renewed sense of inspiration. I will stop the rambling before it starts; here are some early morning shots of Chinatown in Manhattan.

2 AM Night Swim I

Well OK, I wouldn't swim in the East River, but I did stand at its edge (at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservatory) and hung out with several young lovers making out, shooting some photos of this classic piece of infrastructure; the Manhattan Bridge...

A New Day Over the RFK

The Robert F. Kennedy or Triboro Bridge is greeted with another morning sunrise... This bridge runs parallel to the Hell Gate Bridge over the Harlem River, Bronx Kill and a section of the East River known as Hell Gate (with Wards Island in between them) in New York City...
