Taking it in…

The Marcy Avenue subway station entrance in Williamsburg, Brooklyn; taken from Broadway.

You Would…Would You?

This wide angle shot was taken near the Hudson River in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood of Tribeca.

Spring Teaser

Spring has partially arrived in the form of 1 to 2 days a week, but its total embrace still eludes us all.  This shot was taken in the West Village area of Manhattan.

Red and Blue

Going wide angle in West Village, near where Varick becomes 7th Avenue in Lower Manhattan…

The Yard at Coney Island

The view of the Coney Island Rail Yard, coming into the Stillwell Avenue Station from the D train.

Luminaire Stimulation

Taken near the corner of Broadway and Bedford at the foot of the Williamburg Bridge in, where else?  Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Hipstapus

They're in Williamsburg, Clinton Hill, Bushwick, and Crown Heights. Its only a matter of time before I see eight tentacles working fixies down the bike lanes of Bed Stuy. In case your wondering, I laugh at my own jokes ;) Taken near the Navy Yard in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

Once again, I offer my apologies for the thin posting as of late, still very busy.

Dissociative Cortelyou Road Disorder

I've live up against an elevated expressway and near railroad track, but never near transit tracks before. I'm sure one would get used to the bang, bang, bang, screech sounds. Combine that with the bright blue arcing flashes from the third rail and you have a mini thunderstorm ;) Taken from the platform of the Cortelyou Road station along the BMT Brighton Line in southern Brooklyn.

Drunken Raccoon

I can just imagine Ralph and Norton staggering on back to Brooklyn at 3AM in their raccoon hats. Nothing like a little Honeymooners humor... Taken in Tribeca, Manhattan.

Dark Side of the Deco Phallus

This Willimsburgh Saving Bank Tower in Downtown Brooklyn, which is 37 floors, 512 Feet, and was built in 1927.

Death-Density

With a city as densely populated as New York, its only logical that the cemeteries would be dense as well. This shot is of a section of Washington Cemetery in the Midwood area of central Brooklyn.

Umber, L is Optional

Taken from 4th Avenue between the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Park Slope and Boerum Hill, just south of Downtown.

Manhattan Eruption

Someone told me this shot looks like the entrance to hell.  I’ve never been, so I can’t discount the accuracy of the claim, but I do know it could always be worse…  Taken near the municipal building in Lower Manhattan.

Foxy Ladies Next Door

Another shot taken in Coney Island, in close proximity to the previous post...

Coming into Coney Island

I am, not the train…  A candid sidewalk scene along Stillwell Avenue, in Coney Island Brooklyn.  I offer my apologies for the thin posting frequency as of late, I’ve been quite busy.

99 Cent Store of Queensbridge

Another stop along the F train; that's no coincidence for I ride it frequently. This shot was taken in the Queensbridge area of Long Island City, Queens. This shot is best if viewed large, you may click the image to do so.

Hot Air!

As in which generates more of it? The two engines from this commuter jet or the US Capitol Building in the distance? Taken at the Washington National Reagan Airport...

Waiting for my Man

The Velvet Underground song seems to fit the mood of this shot; it should be noted however, that this shot was taken on the opposite side of the city of the place that is indicated (125th and Lexington) in the song.  This shot was taken near the corner of 2nd and Houston on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.  This shot contains quite a bit of detail and is best if viewed large, you may do so by clicking the image…

I'm waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man

Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind
I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
First thing you learn is you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man

Song: Waiting for my Man, from the album Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)

Table Cloth-Shirt

Taken from a platform of the Smith and 9th Subway station in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn.  This station is one of two stations that sits on the elevated Culver Viaduct, which elevated subway service above the Gowanus Canal, is the highest point of elevation in the entire system, carries the G and F trains, and is currently under heavy construction.  Given its elevation, you can see many parts of the city including most of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Statue of Liberty, which may be seen here.

The Kiss

Speaking of falling in love, I can’t exactly say what it is these pigeons are doing, but they need to get a room….  Taken in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
