Last day with my Mark iii, while its getting repaired for a reasonable price by Canon. 1aday will be going retro like 2008 until it gets back.

I’d like the think that her pose is a coincidence. So I will.
I also met Batman today, its nice to know that billionaires take the subway into Midtown and put their lycra on one leg at a time like everyone else.
Also here are some concerned fire fighters and a broken stop light.

Strolling around the city on a cloudy day as the nine to fivers are just getting to their offices. I feel bipolar sometimes I’m envious of the regimented schedule and other times I couldn’t be happier to have little bit of flexibility. Also shot a mini timelapse at GCT. I didn’t have a tripod, not that that matters you need a permit to use one there anyway, so there’s a little shift, had to use the stair railing as a support.

Was pleasantly surprised with close friends from out of town. Was treated to fun walks, awesome conversation, drudging up the past(in the best way possible), eating decadent food, laughing, and drinking good coffee. It was a great day, and been a good week. Will miss you guys.

Street Gallery. Took a detour, because of a traffic crisis, through Hunts Point today. Saw some great great graffiti, and some generally awesome stuff I wouldn’t see otherwise. I think I need to explore some new areas of this city. Side note I can’t believe someone paid money for that Pride & Clarke ad. Most bars use it as Well liquor, its basically turpentine. Also a pretty big fan of the graffiti on the right hand side, zoom in and check it out.

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”xxxiii
Everything’s frozen. Winter in New York is so gray. Sometimes in an unbearable way. I have to find color where I can get it. A neon sign reflected in a frozen bus shelter will serve for tonight. Shades of gray have their place, but I’m craving color.

Anxiety
Like most of us living in the constantly connected age, I suffer from anxiety from time to time. Sometimes there’s a reason for it(bills, work, life) other time its just there serving as a reminder that we’re teetering on the edge of order and chaos.
I’m a worrier. I can find a reason to worry about anything. Things can be fine, and I’ll find a way to make it seem like everything is on the verge of collapse.
If I’m able to be logical(which is normally the case) I’m aware that I’m manufacturing a situation, and most of the time everything goes to a simmer instead of a full boil. Walks work. Runs are better. I pretend that coffee helps, but I’m perfectly happy ignoring that the caffeine is probably a catalyst for anxiety.
Anyway I went out to shoot long exposures at the Astoria Blvd NQ stop. I had to go up above because the highway sign was going to get in the way. Below you can see the perfectly pleasant long exposure of 278 and the Triboro Bridge(I have nothing but love for RFK, but we all know its the Triboro.)
The long exposure used for the main photo is not the same as the one below, and I felt like I had to include them both.

I love a good blizzard freak out. It’s the only time everything stops in this city. We’re a long way from the tropics.
