Better Than Real Because It’s Not.


Mission: Bruckner – Starting Back Toward The Beginning

Friday September 04th 2009, 1:48 am

(August 14) A couple of weeks ago, I’d figured to save time by walking to my customer one stop away on the local 6 train from the express 6 I’d gotten off of at Hunt’s Point Ave. It turned out to be a terrible mistake from that perspective, but I decided to go back with my camera, which I strangely hadn’t brought with me on the previous occasion.

footbridge
You can see the footbridge, which turned out to be the focus of the traveling I needed to do.

the obelisk
No, the obelisk isn’t peeing, it’s a fountain.

right side of the bronx river
Walking back toward the footbridge, I passed over the Bronx River on another bridge.

left side of the bronx river
There’s several views here I don’t get from where I usually cross this river.

bronx river bank
You can see the sky reflecting off the water.

in the bronx it's a skewl of fish
Down in the water, there were thousands of fish.

fishies
This was the small blob.

huge blob o'fish
That’s not an oil slick, that’s a lot of fish down there.

rail spur
Still in use from the looks of it.

grate not so great
This one is a serious view-buster

make a note of the many-colored building
Wherever there’s train tracks, there will be tagging, which pre-dates the Intertubes.

someone's rails to somewhere
Viza informs me these are Amtrak’s tracks.


This Delay Brought To You By Dysfunction

The rest of July.

gmc truck
Old skewl truck in Port Jefferson.

for sale

drum guy
He’s usually out there playing when I walk by in the daylight.

how does he know?
The sign changed again.

i am not a facebook addict
I am not a fan even.

mimosas
These mimosas have yet to fall to the disease wiping them out.

they're not just for brunch anymore
They remind me of my maternal grandparents

lindsay and delilah
Little did they know, they were about to move again.


A short stroll down the Gowanus Canal (part one)

Thursday June 04th 2009, 12:02 am

(May 25) I was planning on going into Manhattan, but it was already getting dark, and I made the decision to photograph around the Gowanus Canal instead, and I saved $4 which I sadly need.

duck
Seeing animals in Superfund waters frightens me.

toxic waters
I want to chase the duck out of that poisonous water

obama
There’s a lot riding on him now

is he on the other side of the wall?
This always reminds me of Billy for some reason

emptiness
Down 1st. St.

barbed canal
Looking back toward home

the plumber and the water tower

abandoned, but not
I still don’t know what this place is

the end
The early part of this jaunt covers material I’ve photographed before, and this is not the end. Yet.


Coasting

Tuesday February 17th 2009, 1:06 am

Time passes more quickly than work comes in. I make a lot more banking trips now.

the other side
This is the Union St. end of this place

mini park
Further down Union St. in Park Slope

woe unto those with no connectivity
The Subway is the original network


I saw Lindsay and Delilah, and Rachel and Greg,…

high-tech lap, low-tech lap
and Sarah and Zack
