This Week In Randomness

It's been a quiet week here on 365, but not totally without photography in and around the city I call home. There was a fire safety event, even a belated birthday celebration!

Fire safety event at Rockefeller Center

I've always liked the humble, underrated mail chute. The efficiency, the sleekness, the sense of prehistoric technology...

I turned a year older last week, and my bestie Amanda took me out to Harlem Public (you can probably guess what neighborhood that's in) for a belated celebration. It's hard to tell because of the darkness of the photo, but HARLEM PUBLIC is stamped into that burger bun. #butdatbrandingdoe

Gramercy Park

Yesterday's travels brought me to the gates of Gramercy Park, one of New York's most exclusive patches of greenery. Unfortunately, only residents of nearby buildings get keys to the park (though I did hear a rumor involving a certain Airbnb rental and park access). On the bright side, the fence, in addition to keeping the riffraff general public out, also makes a great photographic framing device.

Tavern at Rest

Today's travels brought me to a Manhattan watering hole that shall not be named, and while sitting at a certain angle, I couldn't resist the call of the camera.
