Transit Greeting

Getting ready to start my morning commute, I was greeted by this, which is just begging to be photographed by yours truly.

Knuckle Sandwich to Bensonhurst

Self explanatory.

Indeed

Seems appropriate for Friday.  Spotted in Central Park.

Other Side of the Tracks II

God Made me Queer

When walking along, look down, sometimes you come across a treat.  As seen next to a spent cigarette butt on a Bushwick crosswalk.

Because its Hot

Coney Island Beach as seen from Steeplechase Pier.

Dingy Ghost Train//Life on the G

One of many unloved stations along crosstown G in Brooklyn.

Other Side of the Tracks

The Manhattan skyline as seen from the Middle Village area of Queens.

Billyburg Dope

One sure fire indicator that you’re beginning to age, you lose touch with the finer nuances of modern vernacular.  Another indicator, when you begin to express ideas by starting with “In my time” or “where I come from”.  Well, in my time, the word “dope” was an insult or a reference to illicit substances.

Dope, as defined on Urban Dictionary.  See definition #2.

A Brooklyn Summer

The neighborhood as seen from the apex of Sunset Park.

Post-Higher Education Bubble

Taken near Fulton Mall in downtown Brooklyn.

The Temptress

As stated before, I rarely trespass to get my photographs, but that doesn’t mean I am never tempted.  Taken from the 9th Avenue Station, along the BMT West End Line in Brooklyn.

Train Bomb

Train has been suspended, pending graffiti removal.

Battle of Transportation Modes

Going to the subway station via a hazardous crosswalk occupied by psychotic Brooklyn drivers under a passing J train.

Green water

The Jackie Kennedy Onassis reservoir gets infused with a few different colors each year.

Summer in Astoria

Astoria Boulevard, from 31st Street.

Rocky Skyline

A geological perspective from lower end of Central Park.

Titled Reflection

Italian Eateries, Tourists, and Peep Shows

What can I say?  Crosswalks provide a great framework for composing a shot.  Taken near 33rd and 7th, across from Penn Station in Midtown.

The June Experiment

 

During the month of June, I experimented with various processing techniques that tend to differ from my usual style of focusing and color.

There have been morning commutes where I feel as out of phase as this photo looks.

I don’t know about you, but I like my bridges with a side of eye strain.

An apocalyptic swarm arrives early and will chill in the East Village for another few months or so.

The New York Bay and ships from Sunset Park.

Reflective decoding architecture.

I strive to achieve a great subway electrical arc, but they are just as elusive as a great lightning shot.

Some remaining relics from the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Taken on Metropolitan in the Fresh Pond area of Queens.
