Photo of the Day: Stage door
I don’t know, I took this years ago, and it’s just a close-up of a Broadway theatre’s stage door, but I always really liked it.
Photo of the Day: Commuter
This was with my “real” camera. I was actually trying to take a picture of the subway as it whizzed by. I have a couple of those and they came out really good! So that’s what I was actually focusing … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: The blessed Atrium
I cannot believe the Atrium survived intact. It seems like a miracle.
Photo of the Day: Atlantis
Across the street from the movie theatre off Union Square, there’s a building. If you come out of a movie at, say, 4 or 5, when the light is low and intense … the building across the way reflects the … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: The day the music died
It was a sad sad day when Colony Music closed. A staple in New York. An essential place. Actors, musicians, singers … it was as regular a pit-stop as the Drama Bookshop. You could get literally every piece of sheet … Continue reading

Photo of the Day: Behind the Red Doors
I love fire escapes. I take so many pictures of fire escapes that I created a whole album on Flickr devoted to them. If I recall correctly, I got a glimpse of this beauty while I was waiting for a … Continue reading
Photo of the day: The monolith of 33 Thomas Street
This faceless windowless Brutalist monolith LOOMS over Church Street, and if you didn’t look up, you might not perceive that there is something very very strange about this building. In fact, if you were daydreaming, or not focusing, or thinking … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Semper fi
Sometimes you’re in the right place at the right time. I suppose now that everyone has a camera on them at all times in their phone, this is less true now. But this was a non-digital camera, and I usually … Continue reading
