Before I moved to Brooklyn, I’m not sure if I had ever taken this train; maybe once or twice max. It kind of creeped me out because it is basically a Brooklyn train that makes a U-turn on the east side of Manhattan (it’s the brown line). Essentially, it was useless to me. [...]
After looking at this photo again, actually reading what the hell it says, and digesting it, I’ve decided that maybe I do need to start shopping at – rather than photographing – the Union Square farmers market. I mean, I don’t necessarily need a pound of mushrooms, but a little pint of them usually [...]
1. Because I feel like a perv taking pictures of random people I don’t know and trying to be sly about it.
2. I don’t want to ask people to take their photograph because A. that’s weird and B. isn’t street photography supposed to capture that good old decisive moment?
3. Other photographers find cool stuff to [...]
I don’t know why I like farmer’s markets so much. I rarely buy anything except maybe a cookie since they’re always huge and delicious and make me drool just thinking about them. And I always manage to make it to the wine tasting stand. I mean duh, free wine. Other than [...]
I took this over the weekend at the Greenmarket in Union Square. Even though this photo says “autumn” a lot louder than it says “spring” – and let me tell you, I do not want to think about autumn because after that comes winter and I like summer – it reminded me of a [...]

Yesterday I stumbled onto the (annual?!) Pillow Fight in Union Square. I’m pretty sure I got there as it was winding down since the entire square, and crowd, were covered in feathers. I’m not really sure what the point of the whole thing was, but fortunately I had my camera on me.
The feathers [...]
After posting this, I sent an email to the customer service rep at DEX explaining my dissatisfaction and including a link to the post. This is the response I received back:
I am so sorry to hear that you had such a disappointing experience on Tuesday evening!
THINK PINK! A Garden Tea Party was never meant [...]
My cousin’s friend has been working on this show for a few months and has been relentlessly bugging us to go. Finally, last Friday we conceded and decided to spend the night doing something other than sitting in a bar.
Let me begin by saying that I was completely blown away by Fuerza Bruta. [...]
As much as I love the smell of new books, reading used books not only saves trees, but can be quite interesting when you find receipts, business cards, and markings left behind by previous owners.
In this instance, someone in my building must have cleaned out their bookshelves because there was a whole box to rummage [...]
