Bus(ted)

Seriously? 

I spotted a Gray Line bus on 5th Ave and 6th St. Must the tourists photograph our hardware stores and groceries?

Fall

NYC Marathon

This is kind of a work-in-progress.  For years I've been pondering on how to capture in a single shot, the feeling I get when the river of runners passes by 4th Avenue on the western edge of Park Slope.  The silent dynamic energy of the runners, framed by the noisy static crowd cheering them.  I think i'm on to something here, but I need to explore this idea further next year.

Tagging

Someone's been tagging the base of lamp posts in the Slope with this drawing.  Frankly, I love it!

Fall day

On my third photoshoot of the day, this guy came over to play for a bit. It was a nice diversion.

Hidden in plain sight

I've walked past this incredible door dozens of times, but I've never really noticed it until today. It's located on 6th St approximately half way between my cafe and Anne Hathaway's apartment.

Blog Plug

Come check out my subway art blog,  www.SubwayDeface.com.  This 3 pic collage just made the Editor's Pick in the Brian Lehrer Show spot on WNYC, about Bruce Davidson's  book re-release.  The blog is a collection of these subway poster defacings.  Since some of these shots are from the neighborhood's subway stations, technically, they qualify to be here in ParkSlopeLens.

I tend to be excessively utilitarian by nature. So nearly everything about visiting Cafe Regular is slightly grating to me. However, everything is so gorgeous to photograph there. I can practically snap a photo with my eyes closed, and there's a good chance that I'd pick up something lovely.
