Manhattan Ave, Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Snow lined

I don't know why I'm so captivated by subway stairs. G Train Nassau Ave.

Skating spectating

Rock Center

27 egg hunt

Can you spot the 27?

Box and knocker

Winter light

Everyone was out this weekend taking pictures in the bright winter light.

Outreach

More reaching trees.

This one is just a picture of the nice couple...

Maker's, rocks

This is with the macro feature of my new little camera. I think it came pretty well even if I did end up spending too much time wrestling unnecessarily with the color.

Flight of the Conchord shoot

Up by the tennis courts on Berry. I only find a TV show called "Flight of the Conchords" which is also the name of a BBC radio show.

27 Easter egg hunt

I assume it's part of his point but it's actually fun stumbling upon this guy's work in random places.

New Japanese place on N6th to open Thursday

Remember this place on N6th?

Today there was a guy on a ladder outside. I asked what they were putting in. "A Japanese place." When do they open? "Thursday." He even held the door open so I could see inside. After he closed the door I took a picture through a hole in the papered window.

By the way, they're hiring.

Reaching out

At first I thought the bending tree was bending away from her but then I realized it was bending toward the fellow farther down the bench. Well... I don't know, you decided. I thought I saw something.

Nita Nita

Remember that space on Wythe and N8th we've been watching? It finally opene as a tapas place.

If you view the original size of this in Flickr you can read the menu/prices.

Splasher: street art avenger?

I know the splasher thing is played out but when I saw this today I thought of my comments when I first saw the hand painted Dewars ads going up on this block in particular - specifically that street artists would surely not stand for such a flagrant example of bought-and-paid-for public space on a block so dedicated to public art in public space. Anyway, it turns out the artists never defaced the ad, but the splasher did. Go figure.

Brick in the wall

Lipstick Jungle shooting

It's a new Candace Bushnell series. Keep an eye out for Brooke Shields maybe.

Cyn Lounge

I didn't recall seeing this before on the outside of the place at Bedford and N5th. Turns out they have new owners and actually held a contest to select this logo.
Meanwhile, remember that fuss on Curbed about whether nice cars parked next to junky cars was really a sign of the changing neighborhood? How about a Lotus parked on Bedford?

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging

I still have some Bike Week pictures I'll be adding to my Flickr stream and then I'll post some highlights here but rather than get bogged down in a backlog I'm going to jump right back into NYC Photoblogging as long as I have the photos to share.

On the road again

I'm away for the week. I have a few NYC photos that haven't been posted yet, but it's more likely that I'll be posting Florida/motorcycle/Daytona bike week photos this week. Thanks for your indulgence.

Broken windows

Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Recycled water

To me this is about the color of the truck in contrast with the surrounding colors, but I'm not sure it's jumping quite as much as I want.

Messed up face

It's a water tower.

Marked door

I took this for the somewhat ridiculous reason that the wall was green and so was the hardware on the door. In the end I didn't like the color because the shadow makes the snow a weird blue and the green isn't a significant as when I first looked at it. I do like the composition though, so I wanted more contrast/prominence in the big tag next to the door. This time using the channel mixer made for the black and white I was looking for better than the desaturate feature (which is the second photo.)

Peeler guy

Difficult light, but I feel pretty good about how it balanced in the end.

500 looms

This felt more profound standing in front of it than it does right here. I'm not sure if I lost something in the framing or what.

McGuinness funny pages

Near the BQE

Balducci's coming soon

Here's an unexpected plywood report. This is in the Delta terminal at JFK. I guess it makes sense. How many times do you leave the city and the people you're visiting say, "Bring bread" or something like that.

Tribeca changing

It's really amazing to look at how much the view from Tribeca has changed. If you're familiar with it, the building on the right is new and all the stuff in the middle behind the trees is new. I'm taking this shot from Greenwich St. Of course, that's the World Financial Center in the background. It reminds me that I have to come down here when I have more time. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a new neighborhood, but it definitely has a lot of new stuff.

Turnover on Manhattan Ave?

Y'know that deli on the corner of Manhattan and Norman right at the Subway entrance? It looks like it's closing. I'm out of town for a week so I can't follow up, but on Friday it looked like they were clearing the place out. Either I caught them in the middle of spring cleaning or they're closing. Personally, I go to the deli a little ways down the block. This one has some cute features but it always feels a little grubby.
