Dinner at Spring St. Natural

A few pictures along the way

The Puck building on Houston street

at the restaurant

Apple

I finally got back to working on my “header art”, the shot was taken at a Vietnamese bar/restaurant here in the village called Apple, no relation to the computer but just as good! We went a couple weeks ago so this is a flash from the not so distant past. 

West Village

Took a walk through the West Village this afternoon, it was a bit overcast but cool and relaxing. The streets are quite a maze in that area because it was originally part of the earlier settlers, before the birth of the grid as we know it. It’s sometimes nice in New York to stumble upon an L shaped street or dead end. I’m generally excited about anything that isn’t a Duane Reade (Duane Reade for those who don’t know is a chain drug store, it has taken over the city much like what Walmart has done in the burbs, most independently owned drug stores are gone, you can find a DR within a 3 block radius on any given corner), Chase bank or some mall store, it’s unfortunate that NY has lost so much small business, but small store owners are getting booted out by higher rents and it seems only Chase or Duane Reade can afford the prices these days. (oh, and I still can’t stop taking pictures of flowers!)

Low down candle light

Jeff has a cold again, so we’re in for the night…. I hope he feels better soon

oooh, it’s…nothing.

Took a walk during lunch today, saw some filming going on at Beaver St., got out the camera in excitement, who, what, movie? director? Ugh, boring American Express commercial. Here it is, after my last shot they were packing up.

Courtyard fleur

Here are some shots taken in the courtyard in our building, it’s interior to the surrounding buildings and tends to be dark, I really should have gone out earlier, might try some more tomorrow morning.

New camera fever

Only 1 week since I bought a new digital SLR and here I am, thought this would be a good place to keep a photo journal to share. I went outside at lunch yesterday and took some pictures of the building next door, 77 Water St., it has a very retro futuristic feel to it. Also there’s an airplane and air strip on the roof, you can see it on google maps satellite, pretty crazy!
