A Changing Harlem
I took these photos after a class I’m taking in Harlem (mostly along Frederick Douglass blvd between 125th and 119th Street). Harlem has gone through some major changes in the last few decades. From wikipedia:
New York’s revival in the late 20th century has led to renewal in Harlem as well. By 1995, Harlem was experiencing social and economic gentrification. Though the percentage of residents who are black peaked in 1950, the area remains predominantly black.
I had a chance to walk around and soak in some of the life in the community. It was great. Enjoy the photos!
City Seminary of New York in Harlem
Brooklyn – Park Slope
I took these photos walking in between meetings in Brooklyn. Park Slope is a pretty nice area. It has lots of character and lots of stoops. Enjoy the photos!
Stoops everywhere. 8th avenue and 1st Street
Subway photos
Here are a few photos taken in NYC subway lines/stations from the summer. Enjoy!
Pigeon with a plastic bag hooked on its wing. It was panicking a lot.
Corner 28
Regina and I frequent Corner 28 whenever we’re in Flushing. Where else can you get a single serving, bao and all, of peiking duck for $1 (formerly 75 cents not just a year ago). They also have the classic “4 items for $4.95″ plus soup and rice. Pretty good deal for the money. Enjoy the photos!
A buck each ... you have a choice of spicy or curry sauce
First Week of College
Here are some pictures from the first week of college at Columbia and Stony Brook University. It was great to see the combination of excitement and anxiety on student’s faces. Enjoy the pictures!
Columbia University on the main green. Today was the Activities Fair where prospective student can check out various groups.
1 Photo From Each Summer Project Day I had a Camera
I chose 1 picture from each day of photos I took to highlight certain aspects of the Tribeca Summer Project of the Epic Track. It was hard to pick just one picture for some of the days. I think I took over 8 gigs of high res photos over the course of summer project because halfway through the summer, Andrew lent me his D300, which took an average size of 4-5 megs/picture. I digress, enjoy the photos!
Top of the Rock. The students explored the city and it culminated here. Everyone barely knew each other.
