I was at Union Square and the outdoor Holiday market was being dismantled.  A sure sign that Christmas is over.  It was a relatively warm day too.  The birds were out and about looking for food and feasting on whatever was on the lawn.  

The lady with blue hair is my favorite picture of the day!

It's Halloween and people were in their festive costumes.  Some original and creative, and others were standard.  I was also in Central Park for the Chanel Mobile Art exhibition in Central Park.  For pictures from the Mobile Art, please visit:

I was at Union Square.  It was a busy day with lots of people enjoying Autumn in New York City!  I was waiting for the bus when I saw this couple on a black Vespa.

We were in Central Park to go for a ride in the row boats.  It was a humid day - surprisingly.  The weather has been really pleasant - not humid.

The Park was full of people today - also surprised.  I thought people would have left for the long weekend.  The lake was especially crowded.  There were many inexperienced rowers in the lake getting in our way or seconds from ramming into us.  Luckily, Thomas is very experienced and out maneuvered these wanna-be rowers.

The lake was also very green.  Some of it was algae, and there was something else in the water.  Little leafy things.  We didn't know what they were but it almost covered the lake.  I thought they were kind of pretty until we rowed into a part of the lake that had a heavy layer of these teeny leafy things.  It made the lake look kind of swampy.

This is what Soho looks like after the rain.

Had brunch at Cafe Colonial, then made our way downtown to WTC.



There was also a heavy rain storm which we missed, and so, the creepy crawlies were out tonight as you can see from the pictures of this slug with leopard print.

Not an exciting day but I managed to take two pictures.

This guy was playing some odd guitar like instrument. I like that I took the picture through this truck.
This girl is brave to be dating a guy who is not very tall and looks like he is thinner than her.

Interesting collection of photos from Wednesday. In fact, after some B/W pictures, I took some candid shots with my camera slightly covered by my jacket. Check it out. And then I took pictures of people as they boarded the bus and paid their fare.

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.

Headed out to Jersey City for dinner and dessert with my Golden Bear. I was traveling during rush hour and captured the rush hour crowd.

June 19, 2008

Walked by the garden along La Guardia Place. The bees and other bugs were out and about. Took some pictures of them in action. I found a couple of bees wresting each other in a petal of rose. It was pretty intense. I couldn't capture it on video because I wasn't close enough so I took pictures instead. I also took some pictures from the hip of people. I got a few good ones.



I also took a couple of videos of a bee on a flower and a fly on a flower. The video quality isn't great but it should be fine.

June 15, 2008

It's Father's Day and not exactly a bright and sunny day for the occasion. It rained briefly and although it wasn't hot, it was a bit humid. I am still shooting pictures with my Sony Mavica and shooting from the hip.



I have to say my favorite shot is the one of the woman at the bread counter in Garden of Eden.

I got my $600 dollars from the Feds today! The check actually says, "2008 Economic Stimulus Payment". Does the government honestly think this is going to bolster the economy? I guess we'll wait and see what gets reported.

My cousin got married today so this evening we went to their wedding banquet. It was raining all night. Luckily, the banquet was indoors but getting home was not easy. There was traffic due to flooding on the highway and when we decided to take an alternate route, we hit another traffic caused by a car accident. I took some pictures of the accident as we tried to make our way past the accident.

I've been shooting my pictures with my Sony CD-Mavica MVC- CD400; my first digital camera. I can tell that the quality isn't as good as the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 that I've been using but had to return to my boyfriend...I've been borrowing it for almost a year! In fact, the pictures posted June 8, 2008 was shot with the Sony, too.

Today was another hot day in the city though not as humid as this past weekend. I took a medley of pictures. We have a few flowers today and people pictures. Most were shot from the hip. My Sony has the over the neck strap so my camera was hanging down on my left hip. I thought those were some interesting shots. You'll have to excuse the yellowness of those pictures. The Sony was set for sunny outdoor picture taking. I didn't adjust it when I was underground...oops.

And then on the way home, I was casually holding my camera and trying to take pictures of people as they walked towards me but instead, I took pictures of buildings - odd!

Well, I hope you enjoy them.
