DUMBO Mambo

By hugh | Published: May 19, 2010

Hanging out in DUMBO feels like hanging out in TriBeCa did in the late 80s: a mojo hanging out experience.

Jersey Shore Diorama

By hugh | Published: May 12, 2010

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

By hugh | Published: May 11, 2010

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

By hugh | Published: May 3, 2010

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

By hugh | Published: March 20, 2010

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 [...]

East River Says Hello

By hugh | Published: January 23, 2010

I was over by the East River today towards the end of the day when the light is pretty good. I took around 60 shots and edited them down to this gallery. While us folks on the far Upper West Side have Riverside Park, the far Upper East Siders have Wards Island on a very [...]

Feeling Better

By hugh | Published: January 13, 2010

It’s nice to be over it more or less especially since I never meant to turn this blog into a mere status report (see Twitter). A couple things: The Wall Street Journal is actually making good sense. All of the endless posturing, fear-mongering, and overspending on the War on Terror™ has got to stop if [...]

Vertical Triptych – The Hamilton Fish Bridge

By hugh | Published: November 10, 2009

A very nice bridge. Along with train stations, bridges are among the best sort of public construction. Highways are too ubiquitous. Airports have been ruined by x-rays and TV sets.

Park Space of Bergen, NJ

By hugh | Published: November 6, 2009

When I had my car fixed in Bergen recently, I took a stroll and found some parks. If you ever get sick of the grass, just put some cement in there. Place benches next to nice neighbor’s sign. Place benches in inviting formations to foster public debate and near sign discouraging public debate when the [...]
