Let’s just take a look at what I saw in my walk yesterday.
Look for the details, the fine print, the minute colors, the finite shapes and sometimes the silly.
1. Taking the picture of the water tower was irresistible. Just a few days ago, I had overheard a guide telling some tourists what a New York thing these were. I knew a fellow once whose company was kind of the first name in water towers. I get the appeal; it just requires looking up.
2. The parked car above was painted 🎨 in groovy patterns over a base of blue. Since it was also a sporty model, finding it there on the street became kind of an event.
3. Many many years ago I was out here photographing the demolition of the Knickerbocker Brewery site. It gave way to the Ruppert Towers and the Knickerbocker Towers which if I recall correctly were mixed use and mixed income. They are now condominium.
5. While the construction of the Second Avenue Subway was hot news, we would walk up the Avenue to its terminus and just hang out. Feels like forever ago.
