(Nov 18) I need to figure out a better way to process my phone photos. Instant uploads to “the cloud” turn out not to be terribly useful to me.
Ok. I’m going to miss grilling over an open fire.
It takes decent night photos for a phone
I sent this to Viza to announce my arrival on Roosevelt Island
If you look closely, there’s a rainbow
A travesty committed against pizza
I had lunch with Lindsay and Leah
(Jul 9) To kill some time before dinner with Preed, I finally returned to Roosevelt Island.
Out on Long Island, What is this scary thing?
Over to Roosevelt Island, the shell of Coler-Goldwater Hospital
Typical of work done by large contractors,
It’s the middle of the day, and no work in sight taking place
This is why it’s going to take years,
Everything takes forever when you’re not actually doing anything.
All this blocked off for the convenience of the construction that’s not taking place
(Jul 9) Beginnings and endings.
More Trader Joe’s flowers, in the same exact spot as these.
What remains of the small businesses that thrived here? Nothing.
(Jun 16) I have been busy. Busy is neither good nor bad, just busy.
So many things nailed to this pole …. that absolutely no one cared about.
This is not at all what I expected when I decided to shoot this scene
Now this, is what I was looking for
This view will never be the same
Not because of the demolition and coming construction
But because the man whose office this was for 30 years has died.
(May 25) I don’t know where this month went. It seems to have been largely consumed by drama in the house. The housemate with the screaming, crying, children will be gone June 1. Those kids are doomed. Doomed. Even their father has given up on them already and they’re only seven and eight.
This time, Junior didn’t get canned.
Romeo continues to lead a hard life
Back in one of the most familiar places
It’s not as tall as the Twin Towers, unless you count the oversized pole on the roof. It’s not even going to be the tallest in the city. But finally, that’s as tall as it’s going to get, and the pole is on the roof.
