Sunset reflecting into the office

Metrocard Oragami

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 18:20:00 +0000

Coming up out of the 6 line on 28th St I came across these Metrocard oragami monsters. Very creative and I was greatly amused

Rainy Times Square

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:24:00 +0000

Today was a rainy, miserable day. I was out visiting clients all day and passing through Times Square

MoMA - 2nd Floor

Tim Burton at MoMA

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 18:29:00 +0000

Saw the Tim Burton exhibit at the MoMA today. It was packed in there, but well worth fighting the crowds.

East Village Radio

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 03:36:00 +0000

I was down at Lil' Frankies with my cousins for dinner. The world's smallest radio station, East Village Radio, is right next door.

McCormack's

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:01:00 +0000

I think I found the trifecta:
1) perfect pints of Guinness
2) free wi-fi
3) good bar food

I can't believe it took me nearly 2 years to find McCormack's. Granted, it is 11 blocks away from my apartment, but I think I finally found the perfect local pub here on the east side.

Stairs at Banana Republic

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:32:00 +0000

This shot could use some cropping. I really should crop it. I haven't cropped or edited any pictures on this blog, ever. Should I start now? I'm not a die-hard purist, it's just that ... I don't know what it is. I guess I always took the time to frame shots better so I didn't have to crop/edit. Let this picture be a lesson to me: Rich, frame your shots better.

This is the banister post on the stairs at Banana Republic on 5th Ave & 17th St.

Asleep in Muji

I thought this was hilarious: little kid asleep on the display bed in Muji down in SoHo.

Snow on New Year's Eve Day

Heading to work the morning of New Year's Eve. 42nd St and 2nd Ave, looking west.

Mom's Birdfeeder

This is the happening place for Pittsburgh birds in the winter.

Pepsi in a Bottle

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:05:00 +0000

Ah, the never ending quest for Pepsi in a glass bottle continues. This time my parents drove into NYC to visit me in the beginning of the month. They hit up a few bodegas in Hell's Kitchen until they found a case and a half. They also got the card and spoke with the owner. Next time they come to town, just call a week in advance and he'll order as many cases as my dad wants from the distributor. SCORE!

So I didn't feel too bad having one while back in Pgh for Christmas. But I wouldn't have more than one.

Christmas Trees in Union Square

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:33:00 +0000

LM and I went down to the Farmer's Market and Christmas Shops in Union Square. Trees are so expensive in the city. I'd probably spend the money if I had somewhere to put it. Instead I'll just enjoy my shots of them.

Christmas Sweater Contest Winner

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 05:47:00 +0000

Paul and a friend were in town. We went to see Paul's friend's friend's cover band perform. They didn't tell me it was also a Christmas sweater contest! Ah well, I couldn't have beat the winner.

Bryant Park at Christmastime

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:00:00 +0000

Now that I'm working in midtown again my photo obsession with City Hall Park is eclipsed by my midtown obsession: Bryant Park. During the Christmas shopping season they install a massive temporary rink, shops, a two story temporary building including a restaurant on the 2nd floor, and new this year: an outdoor space with a fire pit, heat lamps, and Adirondack chairs. Here's the grand tour:

Macchiato

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:20:00 +0000

Macchiato Espresso Bar is rapidly becoming my favorite afternoon espresso fix. Double espresso. mmmmmmm

St. Patrick's from Madison Ave

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:31:00 +0000

Most people go to Fifth Avenue to get their obligitory picture of St. Patrick's Cathedral, but they're missing some nice shots on the Madison Ave side, especially in the morning sun.

This is the first picture I'm publishing with my new DROID. The Blackberry's time/date stamp seemed to have issues and I could never rely on the dates exactly. The DRIOD has a 5MP camera and will geo-locate pictures with GPS coordinates. Looking forward to some good new shots with this baby!

A Bathing Ape Sample Sale

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:38:00 +0000

It's a rare day when a guy drags his girlfriend to a sample sale, but I couldn't pass up the A Bathing Ape sale downtown. We waiting in line in the sun for an hour before getting in and I'd have to say it was worth.

Winter Garden Theater

Pedicabs lined up to grab the tourists outside the Winter Garden Theater

Pig Roast

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:29:00 +0000

I was down in DC visiting Paul and Ted. Paul was invited to an annual pig roast, how could we pass that up? It was amazing. AMAZING!

soooo goooood

Jeff Getting Crazy

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 02:50:00 +0000

Kathleen & Jeff came up for a quick weekend for her birthday. They stayed with me and we laid low the whole weekend. Here Jeff's getting crazy with some beer/tequila combo. Parents without the kids around!! What will happen next!?!? (we'll probably just go back to the apt and call the babies on Skype)

The Beagles

noreply@blogger.com (Rich) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:30:00 +0000

Kathleen & Jeff's dogs chilling in the backyard in Pittsburgh. I was back in the burgh for Jennifer's HS graduation party. It was a great weekend.
