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: Tickets
Maybe 10 years ago, my friend Sheila and I went to the New Jersey State Fair. It was a thundery night. The clouds were super low, roiling grey and black, ominous as hell, but it made the neon lights of … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Snowy rowboat
Another one of the photos I took during my time out on Block Island. It was FREEZING. So cold that the ocean around the harbor actually froze – something I have never seen in all my years as a Coast-living … Continue reading
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: Graffiti on another level
In the mid-2000s, I went to Ireland. I bummed around in the Republic and then took the train north to visit my friend Carrie and her husband Anthony. They lived in Belfast, in the Catholic neighborhood always in the news … Continue reading

Photo of the Day: Illusion
I took this at my friend Sheila and Mike’s house in the country. The lake there is very still and very green. Perfectly reflective. You get all these weird effects. This looks like one of the shots in Life of … 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: Surf’s (not really) up
I used to wake up at 4:30, 5 in the morning and drive to the beach. I’d sit on the sand, maybe even swim, and then drive back home, shower, and take the bus in to go to work. This … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Rowboat
I took this at dawn. A stormy dawn. Which sounds like a porn name. This is on the Jersey Shore somewhere during the (thankfully) brief season – 2011-2012 – when mania ran the show and I was sleeping 3-4 hours … Continue reading
