Berlin pilaster

This elegant combined pilaster and burglar gate are a part of Berlin’s U-Bahnhof Schlesisches Tor.
Tribeca, midnight, a surface not quite a surface

afternoon crowd on lower Broadway, Manhattan
untitled (after Weegee) 2017
I was thinking of Weegee’s ‘Afternoon Crowd at Coney Island, Brooklyn‘, but the pansies were thinking of moving up and down Broadway.
This image, captured on Monday, recorded an ephemeral moment between the time these little pots were unloaded onto the street pavement and the time they were carried off to their separate planters to welcome spring.
golden beets, straining for immortality
untitled (golden beets) 2017
The image of these gorgeous golden beets, caught while I was documenting a Greenmarket purchase from Norwich Meadows Farm, was a fluke, but I like it. A proper focused portrait will eventually appear on the Food Blog.
UPDATE: The ‘proper focused portrait’ I promised now appears on the Food Blog, inside this entry
‘Bushwick Bark’/’Rudy’s Flatfix’
untitled (Flatfix) 2015
This is an image of a streetscape I found on Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick this beautiful afternoon, on a walk between Los Ojos and Interstate Projects.
If I’m going to restart this blog, maybe I should be carrying around a camera other than my old iPhone. I like this image, but I can’t help thinking Mr. NIKON could have done it better.
snow, a natural abstraction
untitled (snow) 2015
Barry looked through the window onto our snow-covered roof garden this morning and announced, “you can see the snowflakes!” Since he was a few feet away from them, I was a bit skeptical, . . . until I got up and looked for myself, and there they were.
I hadn’t re-set the ASA or the image quality before I took a few shots from one foot above the blanket lying right outside the breakfast room with my little Nikon, so the picture above, while it does show some snowflake shapes, became less a meteorological document than an art abstraction. Other than darkening it, in order to make out the shapes even better, I played very little with the image.
I see stars, galaxies maybe.
mirror wreckage, West 27th St
untitled (golden light) 2015
I continue to be amazed with what phone cameras can do, so thank you Steve.
But, no, this image isn’t a photo-edited collage, but the effect produced by at least three pieces of a broken mirror reflecting some other debris and surrounding building facades. There’s also a bit of a plastic bag of trash, and some sidewalk elements at the top and the bottom, I think, but even I no longer can be sure, and I was there.
Whatever. But it made for a fun kaleidoscope as dusk approached West Chelsea this afternoon.
bed things
untitled (afghan) 2015
I was changing a setting on my camera while standing over the bed when something close to this image appeared on the screen. It thrilled me, so I captured its like.
Fishkill Creek falls at Beacon, New York
untitled (Fishkill) 2014
The image, taken from inside a window of The Roundhouse at Beacon Falls, is of the rapids below, on a perfect autumn day, when the trees were at peak color in Duchess County, and the waters of Fishkill Creek seemed to be celebrating.
