jumble of thoughts

shade along the east river


the parks department recently erected a futuristic-looking tent at the northwest corner of the park. It doesn't provide a ton of shade, but on a sunny day it makes lounging in the grass a little cooler.

almost to pacaya volcan


hot lava


lava tracks


by the time we began hiking down from the volcano it was almost dark. towards the end of the hike i saw this energy plant on one of the hillsides opposite us. somethin about industrial buildings and urban settings that i love.


street corner in antigua


sleepin dogs. antiguas full of em, but most seem to be in good shape. its a pedestrian city so theres little threat of getting hit by cars and most look well fed.


subterranean circular room at the capuchin monastery (odd name--but it's for nuns, not monkeys). room had great acoustics and incredible lighting. reminded me of ronchamp.

night shots


gehry at night


astor place


new nyu dorms

i just got a new camera. it's a panasonic dmc-lz7... pretty basic, but i love it. the past couple of days ive been taking big night shots--shots of streets, distant buildings, etc. but i'm finding it tough to get enough light in the shots so they all turn out pitch black. i used one of the presets on the camera to get the nyu dorm shot and i auto-curved the gehry shot on photoshop to make the images brighter.

the canals of flushings


went walkin around flushings after the mets game wednesday night. we were looking for an atm, but all we saw were mechanic shops lining flooded streets. it was a flooded ghost town
