This is the side window to the Cowgirl Seahorse restaurant at the corner of Front and Dover Streets in downtown Manhattan near the South Street Seaport. The vintage Americana look is kind of generic, but I liked the light. I also understand that the interior decor is a bit more interesting, and actually plays off…

Monthly Archives: August 2011These are the remnants and ruins of the Renwick Smallpox Hospital near the southern tip of Roosevelt Island. The ruins were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and fund raising for a restoration project was begun in 1995. Much of the north wing collapsed on December 26, 2007, and since then the project has been… Irene came and went with limited impact, and we live in a world filled with beauty. The Roosevelt Island Bridge on a Saturday morning about 2 weeks ago. Happy Monday, good morning, and welcome to the working week. Tweet Irene hit last night and is still passing through, but it’s likely the worst is over. It appears it has been less destructive than feared, which is good. I lost power in about 1/3 of my house, including the entire area where the cable modem and router are, but I jerry rigged something up and… This is the Queensboro Bridge from directly underneath it at the Roosevelt Island anchor point. Tweet I was shooting this loading dock from across the street when I noticed the Pepsi bottle, and decided to move in closer. Tweet It used to be called Beekman Tower, now it’s just “New York By Gehry.” It’s still brand new but they changed the name. No official word on why, but my guess is people are figuring out that Gehry has become a brand. It’s beautifully photogenic, and if you come back here you’ll be seeing lots more photos… This is obviously the companion piece to yesterday’s image, but while that photo made me reflect on the origins of the pilings, this one has me reflecting on a powerful concept – life finds a way. I expect most of us picture Jeff Goldblum saying that in the Jurassic Park movie, but this takes me… Dawn on the East River looking north from almost directly underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. Who set these pilings and lashed them together? Tweet .jpg) The HDR collaboration group in which I participate is back! I previously hosted entries here and here and here and I hope to be posting a complete list of all collaboration posts on everyone’s websites soon. The participants this round are the usual crew of Mike “TheaterWiz” Criswell, Jimmy Denham, Scott Frederick, Jacques Gudé, Rob Hanson, and Bob Lussier (I feel like a talk show… It was a spur of the moment decision this morning. I need a blog break, si I’ll be posting no new images here for a week. Look for my return next Monday. I might, MIGHT, add some archival images to my slowly growing galleries at Google Plus. If I had decided on this earlier, I… When I parked in this garage Friday morning I saw this awesome sight and tried to capture it but my equipment was not set up properly. When I returned the next day I was ready. That’s the East River between Roosevelt Island and Queens, with the sunrise over Astoria in Queens. You can see bo the Triboro… This morning, for the second day in a row, I got up very early to shoot on Roosevelt Island, mostly along its shores. I’m not much for doing wildlife photography, but when I noticed this Roosevelt Island seagull sharing my view, I had to make a quick portrait. Tweet This is Manhattan, on both sides of the river. Sort of, technically, but not really. This morning I ventured to Roosevelt Island, which is a long narrow island in the East River between Manhattan and Queens. For jurisdictional purposes it is a part of the borough of Manhattan and New York County, but apart fro… I have searched around a bit for any indication that this bicycle with its pink rims is a regular fixture at this storefront at A Second Chance Designer Resale Boutique on Prince Street in SoHo, but can find no such thing. If in fact the bike spends a lot of time chained to its color-matched…  The Niagara Mohawk building is a landmark of downtown Syracuse, with lots of beautiful art deco details. It is as beautiful during the day as it is here lit up at night. This dates from a trip visiting my in-laws Thanksgiving weekend 2009. Tweet
