1/9/2011: The world above, and below

These types of stations in Brooklyn are always interesting. I like how you can see the cutaway — how there’s subway life going on below a building or houses. The people in the windows above are probably quite oblivious to the comings and goings of the riders below them.

1/8/2011: Accidental creepiness

This photo is part of my attempt to take at least one photograph a day in 2011. Inspired by SE’r PoorOldMama, we declared January 8 International Serious Eats Day and tried to spark a series of distributed, autonomous meet-ups of SE’rs across the U.S. and around the world. At the NYC meet-up at Radegast Hall [...]

365.81: Bridge on the Gowanus Canal

Taken while returning home from a pizza-scouting mission in Carroll Gardens. I love the Gowanus Canal and the area around it. Like many people of my age and kind, I’m fascinated with decay and desolate industrial areas. I’m also fascinated by water and can sit and look at bodies of water for—if not hours—a long [...]

365.78: On the R Train

Earlier in the day I noticed once again that the MTA has been re-covering the old orange and yellow train seats with an overlay of that ugly new blue color that you see in the new R160 cars. It looks hideous. My favorite color is orange, and I also think orange and yellow are nice [...]
