Government in Action!

This past election night Jay got to tag along with our neighbor to the Bloomberg Election party. This is him coming home after the festivities…

…We both voted for Jimmy McMillan of the “Rent’s Too Damn High” party.

That Friday was Veteran’s Day, and as Amy and I came downstairs for lunch we ran into the parade marching along in front of our building. I had my camera with me for some reason, so I took a few shots. I can’t say I was too thrilled seeing armed men marching up Fifth Avenue – reminds me a little too much of Red Dawn – though their ferocity is somewhat diminished as they’re being paced by the Blues Mobile.

The flutists.

Maybe I’ve grown older or more jaded. I just get disturbed by these combined displays of weaponry and pageantry.

Driving past Lord & Taylor

No longer at Death's door...

Hey everyone, I’m at home fighting the plague – or the flu as those in the “medical profession” are wont to call it. I’m finally getting better and haven’t had a fever like that 104 degree temperature I made it up to Tuesday night, so I thought I’d take advantage of my time at home, and post a few pictures.

Here is a skyline shot from the wedding night of Amy’s friends Mark and Lizzy. The reception was in a hotel right across the water in Jersey City. Very cool place with an amazing view. I didn’t have my tripod, but I managed to set the camera down on the balcony and get this shot.

I don’t have any digital images from my Halloween Party this year, which was the following night – all prints – but hopefully I’ll get some scanned before too long.

The weekend after Amy and I were wakened by loud cheering Sunday morning – and it wasn’t even for us. I’d forgotten the New York Marathon was that day so we went up to the roof and took some pictures of the madness along 4^th Avenue.

I love my zoom lens
