(July 14) I decided to walk to Williamsburg over the bridge, at sunset.

delancey st.
I decided to start in Manhattan, so I took the subway to Delancey.

It puts you about a block from the bridge walkway.

A common sight on this site.

surrounding neighborhood
One of my favorite things about walking the bridges is the view of the neighborhoods.

across the river, toward billyburg
The view of Brooklyn in the distance.

Unfortunately, much of the view is defaced by this chicken coop.

I wouldn’t mind taking photos from that staircase.

(May 26) One theme that may or may not be apparent here is that I’ve been photographing a lot of controversies. This exhibit became controversial within days of being removed after having been installed months ago, thanks to the presence of a piece representing someone portraying themselves as Che Guevara.

viva la controversial public art installations!
“Che Guevara”

che guevara
The image of Che is still controversial it seems.
You’d never guess this given what a pop culture symbol his face had become.

hail!
“Caesar”

she's looking a little green
“Dali Woman”
