Silver Reflection

Windows at Silver Towers reflected in a window across the street - at the border of Noho / Soho on W. Houston Street, NYC.

Dishonored Taxis

From October - near Prince Street in the SoHo/Nolita area of lower Manhattan, NYC. I was playing with some new software trying to get a subtle HDR look without using multiple exposures. The 2nd photo is straight from the camera (with just some perspective correction) for comparison

New and Old NYC - 6th Ave Downtown View

Not the usual juxtaposition of new and old that I enjoy finding. These are more distant contrasts. The "old" here is the clock tower in the foreground - the Jefferson Market branch of the NY Public Library on Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave) in Greenwich Village. When built in the late 1880s it served as the Third Judicial District Courthouse. This building is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The "new" is in the far distance. The tallest of those new buildings is 1 World Trade Center (still under construction). The shorter building to its left is 7 World Trade Center (the only new building on the WTC site that is already completed and occupied). The building to the right of 1WTC is Trump Soho Hotel at Spring Street. Although it appears to be near the WTC site, it is actually about half-way between the World Trade Center site and the clock tower.

Sightseeing

Taken through a taxi window - a tour bus on the streets of Soho. I wonder what the sightseer in the window is looking at.

Lower East Side CityScapes

Two photos from the end of March - both taken from 20 floors up. First looking west over LES, Chinatown, FiDi, and Tribeca. The second, looking southwest over LES, Two Bridges, and Brooklyn in the background.

Trump SoHo

The new Trump SoHo on Spring Street, viewed here from the West Village. At over 40 floors high, it seems totally out of scale to its neighbors.

The Wall Revisited

Another view of something I posted a while back. The Wall - sculpture by Forrest Myers on a building facade at Broadway & West Houston Street

Street Scene - Soho

Looking down Lafayette or Centre Street (can't remember which this is) at the end of a wonderful holiday weekend. The building under construction towards center is Beekman Tower. The round-topped building to its left is the Municipal Building.

Sex and the City 2

Soho billboard

New and Old New York

Looking past the older brick buildings on Varick Street towards the new glass tower that I believe is Trump Soho Hotel.

CK Billboard

The latest Calvin Klein billboard on Houston Street near Lafayette Street (taken thru a tinted taxi window).

Upper half of an interesting building in SoHo - houses the Angelika Film Center on the first few floors.

21st Century version of the corner newstand... more and more of these boxes are popping up on more and more corners... this one is in SoHo

Soho water tanks

Calvin Klein took down the billboard that offended some New Yorkers and replaced it with this one.

The billboard police are upset by the latest Calvin Klein billboard in SoHo - the Threesome Billboard (although I count a 4th person, who looks like he passed out). You can view two prior CK billboards at this site here and here.

TaxiCam - The Corner Deli on Kenmare Street (western end of Delancey Street).

Sony PSP billboard on Houston Street - recently refurbished so no more stuck pixel.

Cobblestoned Wooster Street, looking south

There's not much left of this bicycle that looks like it might have once been chained to the bike rack. But, even the chain is gone now. Thru the tinted window of a taxi passing by Watts St. & Thompson St, in Soho.
