Twilight Sidewalk

Its gets a little cold and dark under the 7 train (noisy too).  Taken in the Court Square area of Long Island City, Queen.

Homer Simpson Malady

Eh a Homer, don't think the nuclear power plant is right for you. This shot was taken with some friends (links to their Flickr Photostreams below), who are in town to document Occupy Wall Street. They introduced me to light painting, which admittedly, I've never tried until now. Its requires lots of extra gear and prep work, but its a blast.

One Way to the Moon

Yes Alice, Ralph never made good on his blustery, empty threats to send you there, but must you goad him so? Putting humorous portrayals of threats of domestic violence by classic icons aside, this was taken at the location stated in the photo in the Long Island City area of Queens.

Its Bad...

Waiting here for the next train to arrive for 45 minutes at 2 AM is bad, but this the abandoned platform where Michael Jackson shot the 'I'm bad' music video. This platfrom also served as terminus for special express train service to JFK several years ago. Shot at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn in downtown Brooklyn.

Taken from Queensbridge area along 21st Street in Queens.

Old IRT Style Station

The Lobby on the Brooklyn Bridge bound side of the 33rd Street station on the Lexington Avenue Line.  This is a local only station which the 6 train services and was opened in 1904.

Its amazing what you can do when you expose for 20 seconds, f/32, oh and [most importantly] a dirty lens... Taken from Kings Highway in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn

Chomp…Chomp…Chomp

For some reason, this reminds me of Super Mario Bros 3.; well, that dates me.  Taken on Spring Street in Soho, Manhattan.

You Be the Sun

As fun as it would be to be a large ball of fusion reactions, if I were the sun, I would kill everything and everyone in my presence. And while I'm being completely literal here, I can't seem to place this quote with Gandhi. If anyone can confirm my (in)correctness I would be much appreciative!

The Ominous Bodega

 

The local bodega and deli, the ubiquitous New York City icon.  They tend to get a bad reputation for being over priced or unclean.  I find them quite useful for late night convenience and don’t go in with the same expectations of a full size grocery store.  I came up with the idea of this humor-themed post when I joined and added photos to a few groups on Flickr centering around Bodegas.

Bed Stuy, Do or Deli.  This bodega is around to corner of my apartment; I was fiending for a zebra cake around 2am (and yes, I was completely sober) when I came upon this scene.  I knew immediately that my partially hydrogenated snack run was canceled, making the best of it, I pulled out my camera and snapped this photograph; I did so quite stealthily, owing to the fact that the NYPD is not exactly the most camera friendly organization in existence.

Do Not Resuscitate Deli.  This bodega is located in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn on 4th Avenue.  I spotted the D, N, and R trains and along came the title.

God Bless Deli.  Some people may see ‘God Bless’ as comforting, but I tend to view it as alarming.  Think about it, God Bless, like God Speed is something that many would say to someone that's about to embark on some risky endeavor like going into battle, having heart surgery, or riding a bicycle in New York City.  Taken from Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Terminal Deli.  Yeah, I know, I recently used this one…  Taken in Coney Island, Brooklyn.

Guard Dog Deli.  Muscular dog, ready to pounce on and maul unsuspecting shoplifters.  Taken on Myrtle Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

Local Militia Deli.  Gotta keep ‘King of England out of your face’ – Borrowed from Krusty the Clown.  Taken near Broadway and 9th in Manhattan.

Y?

I've seen many examples of people attempting to create a two-way dialogue with the MTA service changes that greet you on night and weekends.  What can only be described as an entity that slightly resembles Slimer, questioning its merit; that would be a first.  Taken from the Bedford-Nostrand subway station, one of the few stations in my neighborhood.

The Myrtle Platform

The platform of the Myrtle Avenue subway station in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.  This station is one of three in relatively close proximity of where I live; I come here when I need to catch the J, Z, or M trains into the city or to JFK.

Diamond in the Rough

Bored waiting for the bus?  Take our your camera.  Some of my finest shots have been taken while waiting for a bus.  This could only happen of course, when I finally remembered to carry my camera with me today.  Taken at the corner of Bowery and Hester, near Little Italy, err, becoming more of Chinatown everyday.
