New York, on a budget

Sure does!

Yes, that works!

winging it.... yep yep yep... thattaone works!

excellent.
I will edit and upload the few more I have.

I took about 600

oh good - just a few then - LOVE IT!

Ok, so a little background with the photos.

This is the flight OUT of Atlanta from the first lay over.
Storm grounded our plane and about 12 others . that storm was over Ny/Nj where we were going.
Once in the plane the next morning , you could see the smog of the rain clouds and the mist of the left over rain.

Lovely.








Once up in the air, we flew through the storm. You could see splattering rain clouds along the wing




Inside the cabin. Sleepy cranky people.



y shuttle ride into NY .
Ohhhh just.. wow.

sorry for the short narratives. I have no words. Just a smile.




Street lights made for bikes, AND people...




one of the quintessential ny photos..

I am on the David Letterman show too by the way.

Thursday nights'



(last weeks episode. Season finale )

How can you capture a smell?

Have you ever been in the subway in Ny?

What would you imagine it smelled like?? Ok.. so take that imagination and amplify it.
Then add smoldering heat, too many people and the loudest noise I have heard in a long time.

Love it.

Im sorry sir, who ever you are..
You were the first image of the quintessential new York Italian I saw.
Accent, excessive hand motions and all..

Love ya Progresso...










Im hungry for food.
new York food.
yes, there is such a thing.



Beautiful buildings every where. Not all have a name , so says joe and Thomas.


But above photo...... is exceptional to me because directly across the street from it, or should I say , at its BASE.. is this





That cross in the above photo is part of this church. Beautiful, and hidden on a side street close to the Staten Island Ferry





My entry into China Town.

Keep going, eh?

If you ever looked at my story on my trip to nyc, the guy with the forever calling that we dropped off from the airport bus landed somewhere around those big buildings near chinatown (I think). But did his wife ever answer... we'll never know.

Enjoying this.. remembering my own entry to the City.

I am only scratching the surface of the photos I have taken.

I have stories of old Italian men singing to me on the sidewalks
Thug kids hanging out talking about the tastes of fruits and veggies
Locals scolding me for being so talkative ( )
Taking photos in the middle of traffic.
and eating. OHHhhhhh the eating.


you name it


but so far, these are the only ones done and worth posting I think.
will work on more later tonight and tomorrow.
This will be a long project

I love seeing NY through your eyes shewolf

btw, what cross?

there's so many things going on in that picture, I don't see it.

When I lived in NYC, I didn't take a single photo. I'm sorry, now.

I'm sure I showed one photo, very boring to others, but it's of our apartment building, the Colony House, 3240 Henry Hudson Parkway (Riverdale), which is dead and gone, gone, gone, circa 1950.

I'll toss it in here if I find it.

I remain enchanted with Shewolf's photos, forevermore, forevermore.

Come to think of it Edgar I never took pics in the city, and I am also sorry.

Oh, right! We hadn't talked about this. Shewolf smiled at strangers in New York. She started conversations with them!

(Shakes head)

So country!

Ok, an interlude, while expecting another 590 photos from Shewolf.

This is St. Gabriel's playground in Riverdale, the Bronx, our apartment building in the background. I was eight. That's sixty years ago.




The front of the building. The Hudson wasn't far but I think I remember a "bridge", and staring at the underside of it, remembering the dots, as we drove away forever. I don't mean the George Washington Bridge, which I remember liking, I mean just the local road bridge.




This is what I remember of us as rich - my father had a great job. Life pooped from there, not to complain.
I googled the address within the last year, and that whole block is some monolithic schmutz.


I think I took those pics with my Brownie.

osso, Your pictures at 8 years old is excellent! Good show.
