What's up, doc?

open door policy, downtown Brooklyn, right near the B38 bus stop at Jay St. and Dekalb (below), Brooklyn

Red Cloud's war bonnet. What can I say?
having drinks at Dynaco, Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, and van below is parked just outside the dooor


a couple days later I run into the same van on Throop Ave.

The feet of a middle-aged homeless woman on the R-train

this guy's pants, shoes and entire demeanor were spiffy, stiff, proper - anticipatory
bad architecture, good money, Bed-Stuy

I love this place

where I buy the Jameson

the New Hardee Chinese take-out has recently been heavily tagged - this is where I get excellent spring rolls and vegetable dumplings

the credit union

traces of the former IRT?
buying a shirt at Uniqlo, Atlantic Center, Brooklyn

At the deli - just one of the thousand reasons I don't eat meat

new burrito place, Lucha Lucha, on Nostrand at Clifton, crowded with hipsters

congruous? or incongruous? I can't decide.

black and white

on Fulton Street near Classon - an architectural hodge-podge that makes a statement nonetheless

street art over unused subway entrance, Lafayette Ave., Bed-Stuy

private pool club up for sale, Throop Ave. 

members only at the Park Slope Food Coop

just another day on Staten Island

from my lonely seat at the Cafe Lafayette

The Greene Ave. Pharmacy, where I get all my pills

New York daffodil, toughing it out in a mud puddle

rainbow over Van Buren Street, Bed-Stuy a couple of days ago

the new Freedom Tower, as seen from Canal Street, just doesn't look right somehow

at Pacific Optometry, Elizabeth Street, Chinatown - this is where I get my glasses and they do a great job of it

a little private park in Soho. I had a date here once.

springtime on the Lower East Side

store on Delancey Street, where poor people buy their clothing

two moments of zen

"I spy with my little eye"

these are everywhere - green taxis for the boroughs

the Cedar Tree Garden on Greene and Franklin, Clinton Hill


I have to hang out to make sure this woman is being treated alright by the cops. I think they're trying to help her rather than trying to harass her.

This is what I got for $17 at the Hattie Carthan Farmer's Market.

Yoga font spotted on Fulton Street near Nostrand Ave.

Recycling digital and electronic items, Marcy Ave.

An old snow cone vendors cart with Mexican tchotchkes and flowers.

time for photos of autumn in the park - Von King Park, Brooklyn


the house that formerly was covered in blue (see post from about a week ago)

the corner of Lafayette & Nostrand Aves. - busy!


The jury-rigged building on Lafayette & Nostrand - endlessly fascinating to me the way the occupant is re-fitting the ground floor facade to suit a not-immediately-apparent function.

the jury-rigging, close-up

I love this cat.



relaxing at the Civil Service (used to be the Tiny Cup) on Nostrand at Clifton, Brooklyn - could be the last warm day we have for a while
the Dutch style wood frame house with a brick ground-floor extension, Quincy Street, Brooklyn


Early morning, Von King Park


what's it all about, Alfie?



This house used to be the haunt of a couple of neighborhood junkies. Then the cops raided the house and the junkies are gone, and the house is literally falling apart. Van Buren Street.

Please fix this up! Van Buren Street.
