Early Morning Central Park
I took a ton of pix but I’m an editor. When was the last time you saw Sheep’s Meadow with no one there?
New York Summer Night Still Lifes
These photographs were taken over the course of a few night bike rides downtown, mostly along the Hudson River greenway.

Books Love the Kids
In the words of Jim Anchower, I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya. I have many photos to sort out and things to think about — and whether I’ll write more than two sentences about these things. In the meantime, here’s a short series from Bushwick, Brooklyn. I took these [...]

Circles of Central Park
Another shot of Columbus Circle at night. I had a gander around the new Frederick Douglas Circle on the north-west side of Central Park and it is the most austere of traffic circles around the park. It’s lots of large stone tile design and unwelcome benches with little vegetation although that might change. Let it [...]
High Line at Night
I finally went to the completed High Line which I saw way before the renovation thanks to OHNY. It’s probably the most unique/odd renovated space in any urban environment. In this case, WFMU was broadcasting a live show. I’ll be back. My old cheap camera seems incapable of taking sharp night shots anymore–maybe because I [...]
New Subway Hole
The subway station at 96th Street has been open for a while though it still has some rough spots. People change and cities change. If they don’t, we get tired of them. (Update: What I meant was, change is natural and expected. Static and decay are smelly.) (
DUMBO Mambo
Hanging out in DUMBO feels like hanging out in TriBeCa did in the late 80s: a mojo hanging out experience.
Jersey Shore Diorama
This little gem is just off the waiting room for New Jersey Transit trains at Penn Station. I never would have discovered if I hadn’t had to meet my parents in Newark last week to pick up Fyyffer, my car. Usually, I would drive to the Jersey Shore which — until the eponymous TV show [...]

Cape Henry When Empty
I had a great time seeing relatives I haven’t seen in years and some I’ve never met. While they have snapshots, I had the beach to myself for a few hours. Enjoy.
Driftwood Roots of Cape Henry
I went to Cape Henry near Virginia Beach last week for a small family reunion of aunts and uncles and cousins on my mom’s side of the family. (My last post on sleeping at the airport was a fitting postscript to the drive down there. It’s a mistake to drive through Virginia on I-95 if [...]
A Tourist in My Own Town
I had jury duty this week and they let me out early on Thursday so I walked around downtown and took pictures like a bloody tourist. I even rode the Staten Island Ferry. While I didn’t take any shots of the WTC construction site (except for the view from St. Paul’s graveyard), I went to [...]
