Funky Town

I'm scheduling this to post in late morning, but as I sit down to write this post, the clock is about to hit 2:45am.  I'm sighing.  And yawning.  New York City doesn't sleep, and apparently, tonight, neither do I.  Trust me, it's not that I'm not tired, it's just that I can't sleep!

Maybe there is just too much excitement in the world.  Yesterday was really warm, and I spent basically the entire day walking around the city with Danny taking in the sights, flowers, air, and the fact that we could wear summer clothing.  I was in a sundress with no jacket or tights and, wow, it was just heavenly!  If every day could have that kind of weather I would be such a happy lady.

But the other kind of excitement is the city itself.  This place is so insanely vibrant.  Most of the color comes from the people, the fascinating individual people who make up the insane populous.  However, I am way too chicken and self-conscious to take photographs of people most of the time.  I would love to, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to offend anyone, or bug them.  So, I've captured the life of the city from around the people.  The signs, the street art, the plants.  I know I've posted a lot of things like this recently, but it's what happens to be capturing my attention at the moment.  I hope you like it. It's pretty funky.

These were all taken on a walk through Red Hook and Park Slope.

After the Party

Once again, this photograph is from my day in Coney Island.  Sorry for the barrage of photos from there- it's just that there were so many interesting things to shoot.  Thousands of people, carnival rides, food, a beach, street performers, sea life... it was kind of an exciting day for me.  AND I was with friends who were encouraging my stopping to take photographs.  So, basically, I took five times more pictures that day than I usually do.  Which means that, a bunch of posts in a row are going to be from Coney Island.  I have a couple more after this one.

Anyways, the content of this shot really intrigued me.  A group of guys were cleaning up after a party on the pier.  They had bags of trash, empty coolers, big beach umbrellas, and a grocery cart full of recyclables.  It just looked so strange to see a brightly coloured grocery cart sitting there, but when I took a closer look at how the sunlight was reflecting off of the water bottles and beer cans, I realized that the sight was actually rather pretty.  I hope you think so too.

If you liked this photograph, I must be perfectly honest... I haven't really posted anything quite like this before.  So I don't have a stellar recommendation for you.  Thus, I shall recommend something random.  The Artist.  It's one of my favourites.  Enjoy!
