Manhattan Ave

Here are a couple of images from a recent walk down Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint. I love this street and will often take a walk to visit the bank or post office rather than make the trip into the real Manhattan. There’s always a lot of activity, as anyone familiar with the area [...]

This Could Be Our Joint

I’ve been shooting a lot of reflections lately, like the Hotel Delmano series and Ghost in the Machine. Here’s another much different from those, made in the open door of a bar around the corner.
