'In Relation to' Map

(Taken near Joralemon Street in downtown Brooklyn)

In the pursuit of that special (or not so special) someone, you may get on or off (or merely make a transfer) at one of these stops.  Loathing and apathy are conspicuously absent and could not be reach for comment.

Green in Fort Greene

I'm spreading the love on Fulton Street, and its green.

Horizontal Stripes: Do’s and Don’ts

I will be the first to admit that I am not exactly a fashionable guy.  I'm a person that keeps identical copies of the same (usually black in color) outfit for efficiency's sake.

There is however, one thing I do know.  The slender guy on the left can pull off horizontal stripes, the hefty gentleman on the right, cannot.  As a man who is somewhat circumferentially challenged, the fact that horizontal stripes add multiple reference points to your unflattering curves is instinctual.  Then again, the sweat pants is highly indicative that he probably doesn't, in fact, give a shit.

 

If you are that person that wears horizontal stripes and shouldn’t and you still choose to ignore my plea, have a dose of color inversion.

Yeah, thought so.

Taking a 250mm stare down into the heart of downtown Brooklyn, from Fulton Mall.

Post-Higher Education Bubble

Taken near Fulton Mall in downtown Brooklyn.

Top of the World

Summer is on the horizon in Soho.

Brooklyn Blues

A few old railcar tracks and cobblestone streets still remain in a few Brooklyn neighborhoods, Dumbo is one of them.

A Flatbush & Fulton Saturday Afternoon

L.A. Mex and Basketball

It doesn't get anymore American than that... Taken in the Cobble Hill area of Brooklyn.

The Shadow Economy

Just one of many indicators of hard times in the US and world economy.  Taken near Fulton and Flatbush in downtown Brooklyn.

The Livery Life

Many livery drivers may now respond to hails outside of, and some parts of Manhattan. This shot was photographed near the corner of Flatbush and Fulton in downtown Brooklyn.

Atlantic Avenue

This is one of those places I've walked by countless times, but have never given it much photographic attention; an issue I remedied this afternoon. Taken at the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush in downtown Brooklyn.

Brrrrrrrrrrrooklyn

Well ok, its in the mid to upper 50's today, but when this photo was taken a few days ago, it was much colder. Taken at the corner of Boerum and Dean, where the neighborhoods of Boerum/Cobble Hill neighborhoods border each other.

Its All Here

Just about every classic architectural New York City feature is composed in this photo. Taken on Nassau Street, near Fulton in Lower Manhattan.

Stay Dry Tunnels, Stay Dry

Battery Park City is one of those Zone A locations that are looking at a mandatory evacuation in preparation of Hurricane Irene.  Given its location, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel stands a chance of being inundated with water as the storm progresses.  Lets hope the pumps don’t protest their working conditions.  As someone who uses the subway system as their primary means of transportation, I wish the same for those tunnels as well.

Indoor Parking, Precision Pricing

Because underselling the $8.25 guys works every time. For some reason, this parking garage reminds me of a parking garage in Indianapolis, Indiana. Taken near Brooklyn Heights.

Umber, L is Optional

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

A Rainy Night in SoHo

 

SoHo, or South of Houston is a well known neighborhood in downtown Manhattan.  It’s a neighborhood that is know for its cast iron architecture, Belgian block streets, upscale shopping, and its revival from a light industrial area to a very trendy New York City neighborhood.  Despite its upper class transformation, its one of the best preserved areas in the city and you can just feel the rustic urban history as you walk its narrow streets.

Wrong Side–Do Not Open

Definitely wouldn’t want to get stranded on a filthy abandoned platform would you?.  Taken at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station in Downtown Brooklyn…
