Brooklyn Bridge Park

Headed to the park to watch West Side Story and as an extra bonus had a fantastic view...I love brooklyn.

House Hunting

As I wander around brooklyn looking for my new apartment, I'll start posting some random pictures taken while hunting. Starting first by looking back...

I found myself in BedStuy and headed to 96 Lefferts Place where I used to live exactly 10 years ago when I first came to NYC. I lived on the top floor (aka attic, my window was the top left one) and shared the apartment with a hostile christian and a potted-meat eating creepy woman. Ah, repress the memories...


Jay Street subway station


Windsor Terrace. The view from one of the apartments at 11 Terrace Place...to tell you the truth, I'd much rather look out on the graveyard. No offense.

On the waterfront

Brooklyn Heights waterfront, that is.

BH is such a snotty neighborhood it's surprising to see the bits that are falling apart. Without these little hidden spots, I think it would be unbearable here.

Abandoned and flooded basketball court.


Empty lot overtaken by weeds.


As close to the abandoned piers as I could go without trespassing. I noticed there are some gaps in the fencing that I might be able to slip through when it's darker.

Guggenheim

Can ya tell? I've been museum hopping! The Guggenheim has an interesting exhibit on now called the Shapes of Space with a very cool plastic wall by Alyson Shotz.

They also had a fantastic Rothko (Black and Gray) from close to the end of his life. Beautiful.

Serra at the MoMA

It's hard for me to express how much I love Richard Serra. I feel like a giddy awe-struck kid when I'm around his work.







I think I squealed with joy when in Sequence. Squealed. At my age.
