Album: Don't Say Goodbye, Say Until We Meet Again
In May of 2006, the movers came. I'd already been living in San Francisco for four months. I came back to supervise the move, see some old friends, and walk through New York again; for the last time as a resident, for the first time as a tourist... for now.

Album: 2004 NYC Chocolate Show
Who am I to resist the lure of the chocolate pagoda?

I'll get this low-light stuff down if it kills me.

Album: Billionaires for Bush Coronation Ball
Four More WarsYears! Four More WarsYears!

Album: My commute sucks... less than yours.
A morning's commute along Manhattan's west side Greenway bicycle path, from 204th St. to Canal Street. 12 miles, no stopsigns, no local trains, no waiting.

Album: NYC and Provincetown, May 2004

Album: Disasters
It's been a fun couple of months in New York. Fires, terror alerts, and cranky appliances. Run for your lives!

Album: Independence Day 2003
Once again, we trek out to Long Island City to get sunburnt and watch the fireworks.

Album: Blizzard! (Feb 2003)
Now this is more like it. The biggest blizzard that NYC has seen in over a decade: 18 inches of snow in Central Park as of this writing, and it's still coming down. A city at play in the snowdrifts.

Album: Assorted NYC Photos, December 2002
Assorted photographs from around the city in December of 2002.

Album: Snowstorm: New York City, December 2002
On December 5th, 2002, the weather forecast breathlessly promised us a blizzard.

Uh, yeah, right. Not even close, even by eastern seaboard standards. Still, it did dump a few inches of snow on us in a few short hours, and watching the commuters scurry was fun. All of these photos were taken from my office window, looking down at the intersection of Canal and Hudson Streets, by the Holland Tunnel entrance.

Album: Nam's Shoe Repair Memorial
On November 5th, 2002, Tae-Sub Kim, the 64-year old owner of Nam's Shoe Repair, a fixture of my daily walk to the subway, was found brutally murdered in his store, apparently the victim of a botched robbery. Neighbors and friends spontaneously put together a memorial for him.

Several days later, the police announce that they had arrested a man for the crime, but I have not been able to find any more details.

Album: New York City Halloween Parade 10/2002
Photos from Manhattan's 2002 Halloween Parade. These photos were taken from a 2nd-floor balcony, using the Canon's nightshot mode, which requires a somewhat steadier hand than I can normally give. (Or, ideally, a tripod.) The effect normally takes ages of photoshop work to clean up (if it can be done at all), but for Halloween it seems appropriate -- ghosts and phantoms, gliding semitransparently down 6th Avenue.

9/11 and its immediate aftermath

Album: Nightflying (06/02)
