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.

Singapore: Inside Out

I met up with the Forefront Photo Guild last night; and after a brief chat about found light, we went out to nearby Madison Square Park to find some light. We stumbled across the under-construction Singapore: Inside Out exhibition; and I couldn't tell whether or not the scaffolding is part of the exhibition, but it does kind of tie the room together. 

Sweet Home Chicago (if only!)

I got into Chicago at 2:30 this afternoon after a long Greyhound ride from Montreal to Detroit, and an even longer one from Detroit to Chicago. After checking into my hostel and eating lunch, I headed off to the Chicago Riverwalk, the Pritzker Pavilion, Maggie Daley Park and the nearby marina, trusty Android in hand.
