September 11, 2001: In Memory of Michael J. Pascuma, Jr.
The 2,996 project is an ongoing collective tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. I signed up during its first year in 2006. You were assigned a name, at random, of one of the people … Continue reading
103 Years Ago Today: Oscar Micheaux’s Within Our Gates
There’s this really cool site/project called NYC 1920 – a day by day archive of events in NYC exactly 100 years ago. It’s created and edited by a friend of mine, author/scholar/literature professor Jonathan Goldman, whom I met through the … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: The sinister house and door
Two weeks after Jeffrey Epstein “committed suicide” (uh-huh), I was on the Upper East Side with my nephew Cashel and three of his friends. We were going to see the Play It Loud exhibit at the Met. It was a … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Coffee Shop

Photo of the Day: Drugs

Photo of the Day: Old New York sign
Take pictures of them while they’re still around.
Photo of the Day: Rain
New York in the rain can be annoying. But it can also be beautiful and poetic and sad. Or, it can be glamorous. This was snapped from out of a cab window. I miss New York. Going down soon.
Photo of the Day: Roseland
One day, randomly, I was in the vicinity of Roseland Ballroom on 52nd Street. I was actually on 53rd Street, behind the ballroom, its stage doors and fire escapes on display. It was just a long blank wall, with cracked … Continue reading
