(August 11) The palace of pseudoreal has an important announcement to make.
The King is dead.
Long live the King!
The royal dynasty started with this
Then after a long reign, this
And after a long but spotty reign, this
Following a very brief reign, this
To now, four years later, this.
(Jun 15) This photoblog now bids adieu to the Sony DSC-N2 I bought in a rush to replace the short-lived Sony whatever that came after the Sony Minidisc, which came after the Kodak somethingorother. My main concern when buying the N2 was that Billy was nearing the end of his days.
Also… I have the use of a car. Photographically, this sort of changes everything.
But first, from the phone one night.
The park around the corner. Still haven’t figured out what the deal with it is.
Now that St. Vincent’s is closed, I wonder what happens to the monuments?
“Our milk is fresh”?
Construction in the city happens at a glacial pace.
(Jun 15) Perhaps the last NYLUG meeting has been held. The High Line has been extended. There’s still bits of it lying around all over.
Possibly the last NYLUG meeting
In the distance, that building whose name I can’t remember
Robert Moses had a name for this, he called it
And bits of wire and buckets of construction remains in various places
There it is again
Viza couldn’t believe I looked down and saw this.
(Jun 15) 590 Madison Avenue was once IBM’s “World Headquarters”. Increasingly it appears I’ve made my last visit there. I wish I could have gotten better photos from there, the reflections in these are terrible.
The company motto
The ghosts have been all over here lately.
The blue reflection is driving me nuts now. It’s the reflection of twilight from the windows.
That says “Gemini” on there, btw.
(Jun 12) It’s called a Tulip Tree, and I’m told its wood is hard and straight. Probably used for ship’s masts.
Unfortunately I can take dozens of photos with this camera and still not be able to tell if they’re all blurry or not until it’s too late.
The next day, a storm obliterated the blooms.
