A Big (photogenic) Apple
Some of my NYC photos from over the years
The Apollo Theater on 125th Street in Harlem, U.S.A.
Museum of Modern Art (art: Jackson Pollock, “One: Number 31, 1950”)
The New York Public Library at Christmastime (5th Ave. and 42nd St.)
The Bronx Zoo
Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge (Manhattan to Brooklyn)
Chinatown
Standing in front of Rockefeller Center, facing St Patrick’s Cathedral
The City College of New York (Harlem)
The Unisphere at Flushing-Meadows Corona Park (Queens)
Occupy Wall Street at its peak (Zuccotti Park, 11-11-11)
The Arch at Washington Square Park
In DUMBO Brooklyn, looking toward downtown Manhattan
The now-defunct 5 Pointz graffiti building (Long Island City, Queens)
After all the iconic images above, I’ll end with a quirky landmark in the West Village. At 125 square feet, Greenwich Locksmith is the smallest numbered building in Manhattan. For many years, the store’s owner attached keys to the exterior — including some in the shape of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.”
You're A Tremendous Photo-Grapher.
And StoryTeller, En-Image.
Many fond memories, in Time.
Visual Poetry.
To say the least.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
& HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !
My wife and I used to have fun times walking around the fun city that never sleeps. So much color, so much flavor, so many stories in the faces of 8 million or more citizens of time.
I’ll never forget driving from Queens by to Jersey in June 2020 on a Friday afternoon where there was no traffic at all. In the past I would never venture that way. The streets were practically deserted - just the occasional pedestrian whose face was covered. So sad. After a few visits in 2021 seeing the big lInes of people waiting for the latest hit of nRNA poison, all my desire to go there was over.
