A Second Look

I’m pretty sure I have posted this photo in the near past. I also included an 8X10 print of it in my current display, that is about to end this Friday. What I have been curious about is the pair of lower legs in the photo, behind the old phone booth. I am not sure if everyone saw and got what I was trying to do with this image: Walking in front of the Coney Island Museum of “Freaks”, etc. is this torso-less being. To me, it was a curious juxtaposition, caught at just the right millisecond. A second later or earlier and the whole body is seen and the statement is lost. No matter how long and hard one looks at this image we will never know the ‘owner’ of the torso that must be attached to the legs we see.

The Ikea Water Taxi runs from the pier adjacent to the Ikea store in Red Hook to the old Fulton Fish Market Pier on the east side of Manhattan ( Pier 11 ). The views from the taxi are incredible as you cross the East River.

Old pilings in Red Hook serve a secondary purpose after being abandoned by people.

Vespas and a Fiat, my fascination for Italian design lives on. All this post is missing is an espresso machine :-).

I’ve been searching for the ‘unknown’ for quite some time. I found it last Fall on a bench in Brooklyn. Precisely, a bench on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
