New York, this summer
July 29th, 2009
I’m always relishing at the chance to blab on about why I love the east coast so much. Unlike California, there are three or four major cities within striking distance of any city or town, big or small. I’ve been to New York four times in the last month and a half. And honestly, I can’t get enough of it.
Here’s a few shots from my weekend visits. (I’ve got more pictures that I’ll post when my Holga film is developed…long story about why Holga pictures are taking so long.)

Me on j-school buddy Jessica Jones’s fire escape. Looking down at Brooklyn.

Najma on Jessica’s fire escape. She, Jess and I all went to San Francisco State University together. It’s quite odd how we all seem to stick together. No, seriously. So many of us of on the east coast right now.

Gracious host Jessica Jones on her couch in her apartment.

A shot from another j-school buddy Christine Ferrer’s roof.

Another shot from the roof. It was about to rain.

I’m usually hungry when I stop off the Bolt Bus from Baltimore. So I grab a ‘recession special’ — two hot dogs and a papaya juice — from Gray’s Papaya. I’ve blogged about this place before.

Copped these new shades at the Afro Punk Block Party a few weeks ago in Brooklyn. That was a fun day.

It feels like forever since I’ve seen you guys. I’m glad you updated the blog. Good pictures all around.
