Two shots from the sky over Ohio during my last visit home:
The moonrise was over the trees in my great-aunt’s front yard, and the rainbow was in the backyard of my best friend, Tracey‘s parents’ house on the crazy-windiest day ever.
You don’t see these things in Brooklyn.
Looking down into Times Square from West 55th Street.
Everything else about it sucks, but there are exactly three reasons I love working downtown:
1) the view,
2) my apartment is one subway stop away, and
3) ticker tape parades!
I had originally planned to go down to the street to capture some pictures of the players for anyone who might actually care about sports, but the sidewalks were barricaded by the time I got to work at 9, and the teeming hordes of fans were already infiltrating (don’t these people have jobs?), so my co-worker Roxanne and I took to the balcony on our floor instead to shoot some skyline pictures and talk about which of the team members she’s going to marry someday. Our office is 25 stories up, so the panorama from the balcony is pretty incredible.
The parade began on the Western-most side of lower Manhattan, Battery Park City:
and continued up Broadway to City Hall:
And thus concludes my half-hour of caring about football once every four years. Hooray!
Some random New-York-y pictures I haven’t had any other occasion to post:
While I was at home in Ohio, my best friend, Tracey, wanted me to take pictures of her and her husband, Dan, with their Christmas tree. Well, he was wearing his Duder shirt,
and they found it pretty awkward that I was like, “Just be natural! Don’t pose!”,
and the cats wouldn’t cooperate,
and the only light we had was from their ceiling fixture,
and they kind of just wanted to fight
and torture one another
and eat each other’s heads,
but other than that, I think it went pretty well!
Aren’t they adorable?
It was so fun to do this spontaneously, but next time, I want to have proper lighting and to make them dress up in matching crushed velvet Christmas outfits and to have tranquilizers ready for the cats.
