Rockaway Beach and Fort Tilden
Living in one of the most populated cities on earth can be exhilarating, but can also be overwhelming at times. Sometimes you just need to get away from the madness, which can be easier said than done. Recently I took a trip down to Rockaway Beach to check it out. Being that it’s winter on [...]

NYC Fall 2011
I’ve been busy exploring my new home of New York City, and trying to have my camera with me whenever possible. Here’s a cornucopia of photos (dig that fall reference!) from all over the city including shots from the Lower East Side, SOHO, Chinatown, Chelsea, Brighton Beach, and of course a bunch from my new [...]

Occupy Wall Street
Recently, I left Philly and moved on up to Brooklyn. When I was up in NYC a few weeks ago, I had to meet with my new landlord right near Zuccotti Park. At that point, I think it was only the 2nd or 3rd day of the wall street protest and there was only about [...]

Frankford Ave.
I did some exploring last week way up in the far reaches of North Philly, all the way to where the Market-Frankford line reaches its northern terminus. One of the things about Philly that amazes me is how it feels like a relatively small city, but in reality it’s massive, with North Philly especially seeming [...]

Nawlins
I was down in the Crescent City last weekend for my friend’s bachelor party. Last time I was there was in 2005, a couple months before Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city. I was happy to see that much of the city seems to have bounced back (although I’m sure there are some parts I didn’t [...]
Spring 2011 In Philly
I went for a walk around the North Broad Street area between Center City and the Temple University campus. I’ve been meaning to explore this area for awhile, mostly because I always drive by the massive and abandoned Divine Lorraine Hotel and make a mental note to come take a photo of it. So I [...]

Camden
I took the PATCO across the Delaware River to Camden to explore recently and see what kind of pics I could come up with in “the most dangerous city in America”. It was a Sunday, and I was hungover, so the results weren’t quite as fruitful as I had hoped, but I still got a [...]
Baltimore
Got charmed down in Charm City over the weekend. I hadn’t been there since I was like 10 years old, so it was cool to just roam around the city with my camera and see what I could stumble upon. Started out in Federal Hill, made my way through the Inner Harbor over to Little [...]

Wilmington
Took a little day trip down to Wilmington, the largest city in Delaware, to see what I could find. The answer is not much. Wilmington is very much a Monday through Friday 9-5 type of place, with many restaurants and stores not even open on the weekend. It’s the home of many corporations because of [...]
