The geese were on patrol, seeking their revenge on Capt. Sullenberger.

(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.

I needed to try and come up with some ideas, so last week I went bridge-walking. I ended up walking off at the end of the bridge and all the way home. Only generated one interesting idea.

what else would you call it?
The journey this time, started on the Manhattan side.

the view from above
I find the parts of the bridge over land are actually more interesting views.

manhattan bridge footpath
The one thing you don’t get a good view of from the bridge, is the bridge.

brooklyn bridge, & fdr drive
I like how the light reflects off the water here.

the cheesecake capital of the universe
The bridge portion of his trip “officially” ended not at the gift shop, but at (the outside of) Junior’s.
