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: 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
Photo of the Day: The Ghost of Times Square
I took this my first year in New York. I had a really good camera and this was all the way across the street. I still have no idea what was going on. It’s always been one of my favorites.
