HAPPY 2012!

Thank you to you all for taking the time to look at this blog.
It means a lot to me and it keeps me going.

FAR ROCKAWAY [2]

 

FAR ROCKAWAY

Still the "rockaways" but this time on the North side. A very different, intriguing neighborhood. Feeling very disconnected with NYC. I really want to get back there later in the day.

 

 

WATERS AND LINES

First one shot from the GWB coming back from locations scouting for a future job, the second from yesterday in Rockaway. Not sure they work so well together but I think there are some similarities.

WHILE WALKING

Lots of walks recently. Different neighborhoods, Bushwick, Lower Eastside, Midtown.
New York is a tough beast... Even more so with signs of the End of the Year extravaganza...
I guess I'm getting hit by the Christmas Blues...

NIGHT RIDE

On my way back to NYC after scouting for locations upstate New York.

LADDER AND PLANKS

GOWANUS CANAL

Yesterday, reading the LENS section of the New York Times I discovered that José Gaytan passed away this last Wednesday.
I remember Jose from the Ken Hansen time [a well known NY photo store years ago] .
José was living close to my place and I would occasionally "bumped" into him during my Brooklyn photographic expeditions.
If you read the article of the New York Time you'll learn about José's attachment for the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn.

RGB LIGHTS

PONTIAC WAGON

I'm not a car fan but I must say that sometimes the view of those old American cars brings a smile of admiration.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE

All right, no Belgian waffles but what a bridge.
The view from and of the Brooklyn bridge was my first New York visual "shock" and still attracts  me many years after.

I guess I'm enjoying series after all...
