Just some more random shots from Grandpa’s birthday party:
More sculpture!
Reflections and shadows in the window.
My drinking glass. And some miniature knishes. Mmm, knishes…

Fun with glass (or possibly acrylic) - the relative hosting Grandpa’s birthday party is a bit of an art collector:

Some… reflective piano photos from my grandfather’s 90th birthday party:
Worth noting, most of my photos from the party are ISO 3200 and occasionally 1600, just in case you’re curious about the D300’s high-ISO performance.

Despite walking all the way up from Penn Station (33rd St.) to the Guggenheim (88th St.) and then back down to the 50s, I still found myself about two hours early for my grandpa’s 90th birthday party. So I had to wander around some more to kill time and hopefully find some place to sit and relax for a bit.
Wait… what? Is that anything like The Curly Shuffle?
Black & white building.
Color building… with leaves! (They’re actually the only reason it’s in color…)

Nitrogen ice pig!
Fun with extremely adverse lighting conditions…

The upper stretch of my NYC walkabout took me past quite a few art museums, the Guggenheim in particular, which I figured would be a photographical bonanza.
The Metropolitan Museum Of Art.
The Guggenheim. So much for that bright idea.
I’m pretty sure he’s asking her if she has any Grey Poupon. And she’s asking him just where he thinks she would be carrying it.

More NYC photos, including a couple more Central Park statues:
Curved awning surrounded by rectangular construction thingies.
Tree roots trying to escape.
I think this is the Roman goddess of carving little men out of things.
And this appears to be the goddess of smug.

I’m pretty sure this is not a pro-war statue…
First, an overview.
The gent on the left appears to have gone all Full Metal Jacket ’round the bend.
I really like the lighting on that guy’s face.

Just a couple of different angles on the General Sherman statue in Central Park. Tomorrow: Creepy WWI statue!

Some more NYC photos with no particular theme.
I really like this one, and I really like how the new D300 handles color.
I believe this is some kind of stylized Menorah sculpture.
Lady Liberty has fallen on hard times.
It’s a living…

I hope y’all like Atlas…
Not Atlas.
Atlas looks kinda PO’ed. But really, who could blame him?
Atlas again - now with 50% more context!

A couple of photos from the Public Library, and one… not.
Jack Kerouac and the library lion have apparently had some kind of falling out, and are no longer speaking to each other.
Closeup of the wrapping protecting the upper facade.
Completely random buildings with nothing to do with the library at all.

Pretty exciting stuff.

Pictures of and around the NYC post office:
Reflections in the rear window of a postal van/wagon. Note the Empire State Building at the bottom.
I liked the combination of the wood grain and the blue paint.
Random stuff in the UPS loading dock across the street.

Ahh, it’s good to be taking New York pictures again. I walked up from Penn Station to 89th St., then back down to 53rd for my grandpa’s 90th birthday party.
Madison Square Garden, home of the most inept sports franchise on earth.
The post office. It’s a bit larger than mine.
And a closer view of it.

This is it for NYC photos for a while. This last batch is a bit on the bizarre side…
Air will be taken out of tires, people. Do not mess with The Man.
Umm… okay.
The service here is terrible unless you’re a very good shot. Not to mention the safety issues.

Almost finished with the NYC photos - kind of a gardeny theme today. Next up: Washington, DC! Well, there may be a brief cloud interlude first.
Sunflowers!
I was sure this was going to be a better pic in B&W, but the color really does contribute here.
A chip in some kind of garden statuary type thing.

Just some random, semi-bizarre stuff from NYC:
A fountain sculpture downtown.
Another view of the fountain sculpture.
Umm, a sofa.

More photos from beautiful downtown Manhattan:
NYC’s Vietnam memorial, made up of bricks of frosted, barely-translucent glass (I wanted to get a picture of the sun shining through it, but the glass was too impenetrable).
Um, a metal awning.
A light, and a chain. Look, I don’t even really need to be here, do I…
Sky, traffic lights, construction. All the elements you need for a Quality Photograph.

Some photos from downtown NYC:
I found myself reminded of Rashomon for some reason…
Which way to the out-of-place historical building, I wonder.
Ah, there it is.

Just about to transition oh-so-smoothly to downtown…
Because, well, it’s what I do…
Some pilings.
The Guardian Of The Shimmery Door seems a bit less than vigilant, but surely this is a clever ruse.
That ladder was a little blown out in the first photo, so I know everyone must want a closer look…

Ferry, sky, wee helicopter.
Statue Of Liberty, nicely framed.

A window of… Castle Clinton, I believe it was called. Seriously.
Some sort of “Hooray, we’re in America!” sculpture.
Civil Liberties?
