SantaCon NYC 2012

More Santas, More Chaos, More Cheer

Suspension Thoughts

In case you can't read the fuzzy print from this sign on the Brooklyn Bridge:

"The reason people are unhappy is because they see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

Early Snow

Ruff and Opinionated

Apparently creatures with two and four legs support Obama

Post Hurrican Sights

Super Heroes Strike Again

White on White

Visited the Dia Beacon.  Loved the space.  Had issue with this artist.  Not to be too judgmental, but really?

Strong Self-Image

Michael Jackson Birthday Tribute

At Strawberry Fields

Yield to the Chief

 What the streets of Manhattan look like when the President comes to town for a fundraiser.

Marrakech?

Nope.  A mini-spice market (i.e. a table) at a street fair on University Ave.

Warm Weather Booties

It doesn't need to be cold for dog owners in the NY to accessorize their pets.  This photo taken by the dog park at Madison Square Park.


You might remember cold weather, bootie wearing dog from several years ago.

A Cocktail or a Meal?

At Barbocino in Crown Heights

Krank is Krank, but...

Essen is Essen...on 40th and Madison

(Yiddish for "Sick is Sick, but Eating is Eating."  An oft used saying in my family.)

Know Your Client Base

At the Kmart on Astor Place

And So It Begins

The Atlantic-Pacific Stop is now:

Hey, maybe that's why Geithner didn't press the company about their inappropriate transactions?

Where are you coming from?

On a lamp post at 5th Street and 2nd Ave

Vat O Mango

I knew the chances of Blue 9 Burger using fresh mango for their sauce was slim, but I never imaged it would come in a barrel.

Spring Day

What Cooper Union students do as class work on a warm, spring day.

Feeling Lonely?

I found this posting at the Jay Street stop in Brooklyn.

Fight, Fight, Fight

My upstairs neighbors had an argument the other night which resulted in my seeing the following on the fire escape the next morning -

Robo Fashion

This fabulous creation was seen in front of Toyko 7 -- a resale shop for designer clothes.

Heart's Delight

Extremely late, but I wanted to add these images from Valentine Day 2012



Cause what every kid craves on Valentine's Day is veggies!?!

Rooftop Playtime

From my Mom, guest photographer, from her hotel room in Downtown Brooklyn. Even the rooftops are festive in this borough.

Hanging at the Guggenheim

The artist Maurizio Cattelan had a retrospective at the Guggenheim this winter. In the spirit of his unconventional work, he decided to join all previous pieces as one massive installation which hung from the ceiling of the museum.



My pictures truly don't do justice to this fascinating work. Here's a video from the Guggenheim's website which shows how the piece was hung.

La MaMa Block Party

Super late, but I wanted to post this video from the La MaMa Block Party which took place in October. The event not only celebrated the 50th Anniversary of this venerable downtown theater, but it also honored founding Artistic Director Ellen Stewart who recently passed away. Performers were seen on the streets surrounding the theater's E 4th St home.

Love Squared

The cube near St. Marks wrapped in love - for no apparent reason.

Duchamp meets Armstong Deux
