Looking out.




The building on the other side is the Manhattan Center at 34th street, originally built in 1906 by a businessman and theater impresario Oscar Hammerstein I.

At the time it was named Manhattan Opera House and meant to compete against the famous Metropolitan Opera - and apparently it was wildly successful, to the point that the Met paid Hammerstein to not produce any more operas for 10 years.

Buildings around #NYC's bustling theater district are full of fascinating bits of history. It's a shame more people don't know about them.

Summer is here. I'm looking forward to the rainstorms and darkening clouds during the day.


Some old ISO 100 film with #Debonair

Now I'm posting photos from my #Debonair #toycamera, with Lomochrome '92 film. While it's a less funky #Lomography film, it still has a funky cool color. #nyc #brooklyn #streetphotography #mexicanfood #believeinfilm #analogphotography #filmphotography

A few years ago I found an ebook by 19th century author Rowland Robinson: "In New England Fields and Woods." It's a descriptive journey through the seasons, detailing flora and fauna in the region.

While reading, I visualized scenes along Blood's Brook, which flows around my old elementary school. One year for science class we mapped a long section by walking in its flow. Many other lessons also involved Blood's Brook.
