The Beginning Of Bedford

Some fun reflections found on my way to work in the morning.

BS Like Cancer

Man, those BSers get around. Everywhere you look, the BS army has been there.

25 Of My Favorite Urban Abstractions of 2011

I’m always looking for interesting abstract images created from every day life in this fine city of New York. Here are 25 of my favorite ones that I took in 2011. The picture above is just rain-soaked newspaper fround on a Manhattan sidewalk.

Spilled and dried latex paint from a Brooklyn sidewalk.

Eagle Street, Greenpoint landscape.

Ikea parking lot, Red Hook, Brooklyn.

The Laboratory.

Sidewalk on the Lower East Side.

McGolrick Park lit up while filming for Boardwalk Empire.

Weathered advertising on Van Brunt Street, Red Hook, Brooklyn

A wall on East 60th Street, Manhattan.

From Norman Avenue, Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

The ole Q60 buses that shuttle people across the Queensboro Bridge.

South Williamsburg street pattern.

Rectangular stones on a beach in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Cardboard on Manhattan Avenue.

An aged sign on Clay Street, Greenpoint.

A door on Devoe Street, Brooklyn.

A beautiful wall on Oak Street, Greenpoint.

Unintended assemblage art created with utilitarian interests in Red Hook.

Rainbow Ends, Planet Grows

The strange rainbow mural advertisement on Bedford Avenue where it begins at Nassau Avenue is no longer there (remember the rainbow post with the dirty panties and whiskey bottle!!).  And it’s been replaced with a wall of blue and an HTC cell phone advert.  For mainstream advertising, these images are pretty cool.  I’m not sure what our green environment has to do with making toxic, radiation exposing electronic devices that may or may not give you brain cancer, but it is a much prettier image than most mainstream advertising.

Oooooooohhhhh.. pretty gradient flower!

Verb Bathroom

For years I have loved the collective graffiti texture inside the bathroom of Verb Cafe on Bedford Avenue.
