fantastical!

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to live in the same town as SIX FLAGS GREAT AMERICA?

my favorite place in NYC

This is my favorite view in all of New York City. It's the Renwick Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island, the narrow strip of land in the East River between Manhattan and Queens. Behind the hospital, you can see the 59th Street bridge, which spans the island but there isn't an exit, which is weird. You can't drive to the island; you can only gain access to it on the subway (F) or the endlessly fascinating funicular.



This photo was taken in February, 2009. The ruins of the hospital were under renovation for the preparation of South Point Park. (Last I heard, it was going to be turned into a café.) My friend and I sneaked in to shoot this photo just as the sun was rising, and we had the entire tip of the island to ourselves. It was a truly amazing feeling to be alone on an island wedged between two boroughs.

dolores park I

I really miss Dolores Park. For a couple of years, it was like my backyard. This weekend was a beautiful one for just sitting in the park.

I can't really tell you why I like this photo so much.

world cup watching

Porteños gathered to watch the World Cup on a giant screen in Parque Centenario.

say it ain't so

Passersby in the Parque Centenario react to Germany's third goal in Argentina's loss in the World Cup quarterfinals Saturday.

take me for a spin

I've walked by this park a few times and have never noticed the carousel. Or, maybe it just popped out so much more at night.

dog day afternoon

The porteños do love their dogs, which endears me to them greatly. You'll often see the dogwalkers strolling down the sidewalks, surrounded by a dozen dogs on leashes. They all wind up in the dog parks.
