Some of Brooklyn, Some of Manhattan including Ground Zero, and a side trip to New Haven, CT

The Chinese take-out at Nostrand and Lafayette

Waiting forever (2hrs) for the Megabus to Baltimore, standing in the hot sun, the Megabus staff being anything but kindly. Never doing that again!

Some people avail themselves of organic fruit shakes whilst waiting for their bus.

When you're tired, mirrors and lights become the place - Cafe Lafayette, Brooklyn

A perfectly happy tree, Van Buren Street, Brooklyn

A visit to Ground Zero, as it were. They're constructing a monstrosity - a shopping mall to honor a catastrophe. It looks to be an alien spacecraft.

Little Italy, Manhattan

Quintessential BKLYN, Nostrand Ave. near Willoughby

Jingle jangle morning, Flatbush Ave. at Lafayette, Brooklyn - lotsa traffic

New Haven, CT, is a rough town. But who can decipher this image of who is so "murdered & missing?"

New Haven, un-lovely, except for the occasional colonial-era cupola, revealing where the coastline used to be.

This Christmas cactus dates back to the 1880s

Another thing I love to see when I visit New Haven is Marcel Breuer's Armstrong-Pirelli Tire Building, used as a billboard these days by Ikea

Begin at the Museum of Modern Art and End at a Tiny Gallery, #F17 on Broadway Below Canal St.

10 photos taken at MoMA: emphasis on right angles, rectangular planes, and super-clean lines; + workers in the MoMA garden cafe.

I was trying to boil some eggs and lens fogs up, giving the kitchen a soft focus. Movie, below, documents the process.

a bit of kindness, two women walking down DeKalb Avenue

and a bit of compassion needed here

Easter comes to Greenpoint

A discount variety shop bringing it's colors to the street, Greenpoint

a beautiful round-cornered yellow brick former bank, Greenpoint - this type of building once represented the strength of local economies 

and luscious looking books, albeit in Polish, Greenpoint

accommodations at the Zen Mountain Monastery, Mt. Tremper, and below, the monastery and some of its immediate grounds

feeling zen (is that oxymoronic?)

a frozen pond at the monastery, beginning to thaw in the warmth of early spring

Woodstock, same as ever.

Port Authority Terminal

New Deli on Lafayette at Nostrand Ave., right at the B38 bus stop. Handy!

the trash train

A story that's 500 years old, painted on a Williamsburg storefront

and the Van Buren Street Block Club is renewed and ready to initiate a monthly block cleanup - lots of fun, donuts, brooms, neighbors, and kids

and someone left this item to decorate a grassy plot - it's so awful that it's wonderful

at an opening on lower Broadway, #F17 - a tiny gallery

this is just the elevator area

an accident near the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge - but we were going by so fast that it's a blur
