It's autumn and the leaves are turning colors and falling from the branches.  There are lots of pretty leaves and I remember when I was a young child I would pick up the colorful leaves of autumn.  Of course, they didn't last very long or were eventually thrown out at my mother's insistence.

And when I walked to the train station to go home, I know noticed bright lights - they were filming I don't know what.

Here are today's collections of pictures; a medley of things. A glass sculpture/chandelier by what I think is Chihuly. I happened onto a set where they were setting up a shoot. And a cute graffiti character.

No theme in today's pictures. I was happy that I was able to collect any today seeing as I haven't the couple of days - sorry about that. But I hope you enjoyed these pictures. If you want a closer look, just simply click on the slide show and it should redirect you to the photo album.

It was a nice day today. Bright and not too cold. I was in Union Square heading over to Barnes & Noble. I noticed a beautifully detailed building between Blue Water Grill and Republic. It's decorated with Islamic and/or Venetian motifs - just incredibly detailed. Unfortunately, the building was being worked on so I the pictures I took are partially obstructed. Along with some of the things I took pictures of were water towers and a faded advertisement and graffiti on a truck. And if you want a closer look at the details, visit the photo album.

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.

I am slowly working my way to taking candid pictures of people. I think there is always something interesting in the faces and actions of people. There's a lot of expression and thoughts, even a story behind it.

Today was a nice day; cool but sunny and warm in the sun. I had a little sweet snack at Once Upon A Tart, a great little cafe that specializes in sweet and savory tarts. They also serve sandwiches and salads. I was sitting outside and placed my cammy on the table and took pictures of people as they walked by.

Later on the day/evening, I took pictures of the trash and graffiti on the trains. There are stories behind those artifacts left behind by people. Who was on the train, what they were reading, eating, doing, etc.

I also thought it would be interesting to document my bus ride home as people got off at their stops. Weekends aren't usually full with passengers. Sometimes there are tons of students that get on the bus; the bus passes by a popular university in Queens. Tonight was kind of quiet. Next time, I will try to document a crowded bus during rush hour. Rush hour can get really packed.
