Another profile of the 'tower of light' - main tower of the 1911 ConEdison building in #NYC.

I can imagine the thrill of watching this gigantic white tower shining in the middle of the night, fed by the brand new electric grid.

It's built on old Tammany Hall grounds, but also took over the site of an old NYC Academy of Music as well. There is a recurring historical pattern of Americana here, for those willing to look for it.

#110film snap from #MoMAPS1 staircase. I'm long overdue for another visit.

I love these old manufacturing buildings still around in nooks and crannies of #nyc. Trends come and go but these buildings almost always leave something beautiful or interesting behind - from the steel frame mercantile centers of downtown to solid concrete bunkers of Brooklyn.

Can't really say that for the condos going up these past two decades. Some of them are already falling apart, and they're too small and too cheaply made to be useful to any other generation than the current one.

Unusually warm and humid weather in #nyc today and tomorrow, reaching into the 30C range. The whole city's shaking off the cold it seems.

Another longish exposure alleyway shenanigan from #Lomomatic110, dusk hours. I find it hard to take good shots with this camera, but the ones I do take almost always end up at least somewhat interesting.

Strangely quiet and relaxing Monday in #nyc today - warm and sunny and the Spring in the air all around.

Here's a quick memory from just a few weeks ago, feel like a whole year ago now.

"Cold!"

5AM or so. We all ended up waiting for that train for about an hour and a half while they cleared the snow from the tracks.

Can't believe this was just maybe a month ago. The spring is in full swing now.

#110film photo of my humble warehouse lab. I think this was from testing #lomomatic110 in the darkly lit hallway.

The studio doesn't have a window or ventilation of any kind, which is what I can afford on a warehouse salary. Alas, molecular biology, working class or otherwise, needs lab space!

I chortled at this one. Night time flash shot of #lomomatic110, of a snowman I swear looks a lot more whimsical in person.

I forgot I had a red filter in the flash, which might explain some of the underexposure.

One of the few #110film shots I was able to take during the recent NYC snow storm. #Lomomatic110 really pulled through in the middle of heavy snow - I took out my camera without thinking, only to realize the snow's heavy enough to maybe damage the electronics.

Curtains of buildings in #NYC often lightly fade away under cover of heavy snow or rain. I love those moments when the whole city turns into a hazy ink wash painting, like an old sumukhwa frame.


I think I'll really miss this scene in a few months.
