365.95: Colorful corrugated metal

I must seem like a beginning photography student, taking all these pictures of corrugated sheet metal. What can I say? I like the colors.

365.94: Charlie and Jeff at the Five-Star Diner

I usually don’t include pictures of friends or family in my "365 Photos" series because to do so means I have to make them public. But that proscription means that I have to leave out some great photos that often sum up the day. This one, of my longtime friends Charlie and Jeff, was too [...]

365.93: Pizza at Tonda

365.92: Greek Corner

I’m on a quest to find the best gyro in New York. The Greek Corner was recommended somewhere as not "the best" but at least a good one. It was actually pretty good. It’s conveniently close to the office.

365.88: Karaoke, Part 2

This photo and the last one will reveal a bit of a not-so-scandalous secret. I don’t really blog these photos to Kublog the day I take them. Often, I do them in batches and then timestamp them for the date they were taken on. As you can see, this photo is from the same session [...]

365.87: Karaoke

For self-portraits, I’ve set my camera’s custom self-timer mode to shoot five photos with a two-second delay between each. While singing, I set the camera to self-timer, and balanced it on a glass. It managed to take some crappy photos before someone grabbed it and took this one. We went to Duet 48 on East [...]

365.86: Anselmo’s Coal Oven Pizzeria

As part of my job, I have to take photos for the food-blogging I do. So I try to avoid using them for “365″ shots. But sometimes I forget to take a separate non-work-related photo and have to rely on something I shot for one of the sites. At least this one isn’t food itself. [...]

365.85: Playground at night

On the way back from league bowling night at The Gutter.

365.84: The Gowanus Canal

Another shot of the Gowanus Canal, this time from Union Street looking south. I took this on the way home from having dinner with some friends and former coworkers at Martha Stewart Living.

365.83: Street cart photo shoot

Rafiqi’s street carts are redoing their menus. I caught the guys in action on a photo shoot. Currently, dishes are pictured on the carts’ menus in Styrofoam containers. The new visual menus will feature plated food instead.
