I started a new job recently and currently working below Houston Street. I couldn't help but notice that there were lots of Vespa around the neighborhood. I want to buy one. There is a showroom for Vespa in Soho.



I also took a few pictures of a building going up on Houston as I walked toward the Whole Foods on the Bowery. I thought the prefab brick panels were really cool.

I started a new job recently but still staying in the Soho area. I went to my favorite Japanese market for lunch. On the way to and back to the office I took pictures of people; shooting from the hip.



This is one of my favorite shots.

Today was another gorgeous day in Soho! The flowers are in bloom, full of color and happiness. And people wore their shades and summer clothes even though it is Spring. It was so nice to be in a dress and walking around without a jacket. I am looking forward to more warmer and sunny days!

It was a very nice day today after a day of chill. I was in Soho for lunch, heading back to the office from Sunrise Market. I was walking up Greene Street when I noticed this inviting roofdeck above a low story building. And then next to it, I noticed red and black fabrics draping on the fire escape. I just loved how it looked. As I headed up Greene Street to Prince Street, I couldn't help but notice the storefront displaying some playful mannequins of a lingerie store. Check it out or visit the photo album.

I was in Soho today. It was a nice day. It wasn't too cold. I walked around a bit before heading over to Jersey City. I took some architectural pictures today. One is the Soho residential building designed Jean Nouvel! It's not as impressive as his other buildings in Paris and the restr of the world but I am impressed that NYC has a Jean Nouvel designed building.

For more information about the residential building, click here for the New York Times article. And another article from New York Magazine, click here. To learn more about Jean Nouvel, check out his website, Ateliers Jean Nouvel. He's one of my favorite contemporary architects!



Afterwards, I went over to the Sunrise Market to pick up some lunch. I was walking on the opposite side of Broome Street from Broadway and looked up at the building where the Sunrise Market is and noticed the building itself. It was a very handsome looking building. It looked like a castle of sorts. And I just loved the ornate details of heads and gargoyle like creatures that dotted the building facade.

And you're always encouraged to visit the photo album for a closer look of any of the pictures.

It was a crappy day today. It was cloudy, gray, cold, and wet. Despite it being a dreary day, I did manage to take a few pictures of some interesting things hanging out in Soho.

I was in Soho today, running some errands. Today was a good day to take pictures especially being in Soho. Soho is always bustling with tourists and shoppers. The sidewalks are always crowded with street vendors selling their hand made items or souvenirs. One guy, a street vendor, said "No pictures." I wasn't even aiming my camera at his table. I wasn't going to argue with him so I obliged. And as I walked off, he said, "$20 a picture." What a dumbass, I thought to myself. I also took some pictures of graffiti that I've not noticed before.
Take a look at the pictures and don't forget about the photo album if you want a closer look at today's collection.
