52 Photos Project

The prompt for Week 3: street art

As much as I dislike the "work" of no-talent
taggers, that's how much I love real street art.
This was down in the meatpacking district,
near the High Line. The hair is Marilyn Monroe's,
the faces here are clearly Madonna and Angelina Jolie
(there's another one nearby that features the
face of Leonard Nimoy), and they're all
created by an artist known as Mr. Brainwash.

I'm sure I could find something I like here
at the Cartier store on Fifth Avenue.
Whether I could find anything I can
afford is another matter altogether!

Weekend Reflections

Shortly after this flight took off from
LaGuardia, those of us who planned
ahead and were seated on this side of the
plane [ :~} ] were treated to a great view
of the rising sun reflected off  the
Hudson and East Rivers, New York
harbor, and the Atlantic Ocean
as far as the eye could see.

Weekend Reflections

If you're in the market for a neon sign 
(know anyone whose initials are ATM?), 
you can head to this place downtown. 
They're no doubt very glad that the lights are back 
on after almost a week in the dark after Sandy.

Weekend Reflections

No, this wasn't taken after Hurricane Sandy came
through.  If it were, there probably wouldn't be
any reflections!  I finally got to work today on the
back of a motorcycle—a scary commute
without any traffic lights downtown.

Weekend Reflections

You almost wouldn't know you're
in the middle of Manhattan!

The prompt this week: Just 1 Photo.
Tough assignment! But I chose this shot
because for once I was in the right place at
the right time—sunset on a 100°F day in July.
The light was perfect and this little boy let
me relive a time in life when perfect joy
can be found in such simple pleasures.

The prompt this week: in the garden again.
My choice is the High Line, a very
special garden that has revitalized
the West Side of Manhattan.

This one's in Robert Wagner Park, right next to
Battery Park, at the tip of Manhattan—it's a
summer venue for some great music.
(Yes, that's Lady Liberty out there in the harbor.)
