Pennants flying in the breeze from the masts of boats at the harbor, Governor's Island What a beautiful day was Sunday! It's been 400 years since the founding of Nieuw Amsterdam, and on Sunday the city had celebrations of various sorts going on around the city's harbors– including free ferries to hop on and hop… Continue reading Harbor Day– Holland on the Hudson
Ben zooming through a parking lot We rode out bikes to the Fulton Ferry landing yesterday with the plan of catching one of the free ferries going to Governors Island for City of Water Day, but upon arriving found a line over an hour long (as only 15 bikes were being allowed per trip, and… Continue reading an excursion diverted
On the fourth of July, Ben and I took to the bike lanes and headed toward Williamsburg with no specific plans. We landed at the delightful Radegast (above) for a spell. Following, we zoomed back to Classon Ave for an impromptu (delicious) bbq. Later still to another bbq– where we managed to spy a few… Continue reading We rode our bikes around Brooklyn
The flora around the city has gone mad with delight from the abundant rains we've had– the streets lush and green. A bike ride yesterday into Ditmas Park, and the plane trees looming well above the rooflines in some streets– cathedral ceilings of shade and flickering leaflight. Last night a piano party at a friend's… Continue reading roses and brownstones
Some interior shots of the beautiful and expertly tiled Weather Up, on Vanderbilt Ave in Brooklyn. Ben and I stopped in on Saturday evening, having not been back since last May when my dad was in town. Ben ordered one of their specialty cocktails and they go for the true mixologist flair. Very nice. We… Continue reading images from the weekend
Yesterday went to the small park-outside-the-park where the neptune fountain is; shot some footage of the water ripples and snapped a few of the man himself. Laughing, maniacal; trident-wielder in the spray. I think I'm coming down with the same under-the-weather/cold that ruined Ben's weekend. Just in time for the ramping-up of this project, too.… Continue reading waiting on a render…
Today is the 5th Avenue Festival, strains of music and voices drifting from a few blocks away where it begins. Also the Sonya Studio walk over in Fort Greene, to which I'd planned to go and see some friends and meet a friend of Beth's. But still at home. Had some work that I had… Continue reading not necessarily a day of rest.
If the kernel were (not a colonel) a general, the general is Caesar (swift, sudden and devastating attacks!), my poor iMac is Vercingetorix (doomed!), and his luck has run out– Today it's crossed a threshold and it's utterly unusable– even with nothing running save iTunes, it experienced the panic. I'm waiting to hear from the… Continue reading Vercingetorix wept.
Wolf on the wall Impatient for lunch! (Prince, Dad) Saturday wander, back in Bklyn– Vinegar Hill segment (Kim, brother Jon, Anders, Ben)
Well, I haven't done any drawings since about Wednesday of last week, but I have been working on re-visiting an abandoned canvas, begun last year in the summer. (Here is where it stood prior to this weekend.) It's gone in quite a different direction from the monochromatic Amsterdams of 2007. I've incorporated a cartographic element… Continue reading Clinton Hill house
