Reinventing itself, DUMBO has now become a destination as well as a trendy place to live. With the new Brooklyn Bridge Park along the East River it really makes this area very attractive. The views of Manhattan are wonderful from this vantage point.

East Side, Northward
This is from the Roosevelt Island Tram as it nears the Manhattan Island station. I don’t recall the exact ave. (E. 60th St.), but this view is looking northward on the East Side. I carry a small digital voice recorder with me, but I tend to use it to remind myself of general geographical areas that I have shot in during the course of a day. I probably should consider using it for the details as well.
The Lower Halves
Spotted at the MOMA.
Break Time in Post Alley
Brick-paved Post Alley serves as a breakroom for a restaurant employee.
Saturday Fair
Mid-Town Manhattan on a Saturday afternoon. A fair or something has attracted this large number of people.
Summer in Seattle
Summer did finally arrive in August.
Leavenworth, Wa.
Some views of the Wenatchee River at Leavenworth. Sorry about the blurry jumper photo. Normally I wouldn’t post something blurred-at least intentionally. The jumper caught me by surprise and I had to shift the camera at the last second to catch him in the frame.
Young Troubadors
Singing for change at Alki Beach.
Headware
Spotted on Alberta St.
Close to the Maddening Crowd
View of Times Square and also a large crowd of people in Midtown Manhattan attending a food oriented festivity.
Corner Meeting
Corner meeting on 7th Ave. in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
Patchwork
On Albina St., a young man is scraping, patching and painting the side of an older building. The paint on the building was lead-based. I passed my concerns to the fellow up on the ladder ( ‘Shouldn’t you be wearing a respirator?) and he didn’t seem concerned. Also, the stuff he was scraping off of the side of the building was falling directly onto the sidewalk. Seemed like he could have had a tarp or something to catch the lead-based paint? I guess I should just mind my own business? Smart Car……Not so smart young man.
Hitchcock and a Brooklyn Subway Station
A view of the F Train, I believe, at the 7th Ave. station in Brooklyn. Much like Alfred Hitchcock inserting himself into his movies, if for only a brief moment, I have captured myself ( Mr. Bluestar2012, formally speaking ) in one of these images. In the background is the irresistible palette of the graffiti artist, also known as a ‘building’. Photos were taken on a Sunday morning so that is why there is an obvious lack of commuters.
