Exploring the City

I went around the city this weekend doing some photography of anything I thought that was interesting. Here are just a few of the things I happened to find.



A Puerto Rican block party in Spanish Harlem.




An interesting view looking up near 5th Avenue.



A group of guys breakdancing on the street. These guys were amazing.











Looking up at Radio City Music Hall.




Sculptures on the south end of Central Park



Columbus Circle buildings



A creative homeless man. His sign reads, "Ninjas killed my family. Need money for kung fu lessons."



More sights in Columbus Circle






A theatre group performing a scene from their play, "The Brig," that depicts life in U.S. military prisons.









Walking through Central Park









5th Avenue on the Eastside of Central Park right by the Met (Jackie O's old neighborhood).

Daily Show report

Last night we were at the Daily Show and had a great time. I was on TV for a split second when they introduced the guest, Fareed Zakaria, the editor of Newsweek. Here's a freezeframe from the broadcast showing that moment.

End of the Hunt

Today we finished up the Treasure Hunt, guaranteeing that we will get to see the Daily Show (probably this week.) Here are pictures from today's outing.

A mime in the Times Square subway station.



View from the subway in Queens looking back on Manhattan.



Views of Shea Stadium. When we got off the subway here we saw the Mets team bus being escorted by police as they drove over to Yankee Stadium for the final game today of the Subway Series - the hottest ticket in town. To the right of the stadium I could see where the new stadium is being built.





The final landmark in our treasure hunt: the globes built for the 1964 World's Fair. They are even more impressive once you are underneath them looking up.

The Queens Art Museum - with a huge scaled down model of New York City!




The exhibit on the 1964 World's Fair. I know the Wood family will appreciate that. One picture shows a diagram model of the setup for the fair.




The spaceships from Men In Black!



Visiting the Chinatown section of Queens. Queens is the most ethnically diverse county in the country.
