The cult of love doesn't quite enjoy being photographed.

"Brighton Beach, NY - Fading Memories"

Thu, 05 Oct 2006 10:48 -0400

Taken under the overhead D Train subway of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY. Though the majority of the local population is comprised of Russian immigrants, there's a dwindling population of older residents who have lived under those same train tracks for over half a century. Sadly, they're dying off...

"Burning Sky"

To commemorate the five year anniversary of 9/11, I decided to upload a photo I took on 9/12, while standing on a premenade in Rockaway, NY. On September 11, 2001, I was still living in New York City and had taken the day off from work because my father had been admitted into a hospital for a mild heart attack just a day sooner. As the planes were hitting the TWC, I was washing up and getting ready to leave my apartment for my trek uptown to Mt. Sinai Hospital. My mother called me and told me to turn on the TV. The rest is, well, history. So I grabbed a cab uptown and rushed to the hospital. I seem to remember that there was already a thick cloud of smoke following my cab route north. When I arrived at Mt. Sinai, I found a hospital and it's staff gearing up for an influx of survivors -- the ER was being emptied out and patients were being doubled up in rooms to allow for the expected need for hospital beds. But after a few hours, the grim realities of the day began to set in...not a single survivor was brought in through the doors of that hospital. This photo was taken as I stood out looking maybe 25 miles across Brooklyn towards the new Manhattan skyline. I had just finished dinner with my mother and walked out to catch my breath and clear my head. It was beautiful night. It was a terrible night.

"The 51st State"

Mon, 17 Jul 2006 09:00 -0400

Taken in the bowels of the Purdue Chicken factory. I'm not quite sure whether I'd bestow the 51st state title on South Jersey, but it does definitely feel like another country sometimes.

I came across these barrel-shaped objects outside the Purdue Factory, all lined up neatly as you see them. I have absolutely no idea what they are or what they are meant for, but the highly saturated colors of the rust sure do stand out.
