Williamspoint Photo du Jour: A Matter of Perspective

Depending on one’s outlook on life (e.g.; glass half empty or half full) this image (from North 14 Street) could be said to look like one of two things:

1. A tree
2. A mushroom cloud

For the record, I initially thought it was a mushroom cloud (it’s actually a tree).

As a consequence (of my rather black sense of humor) I have not been able to get this song out of my head all afternoon.

Filming On Franklin

Today Lily at Dandy Wines asked me what was shaking in Greenpoint. I told her “not much”. Summer may officially be over but nothing else has changed; it is still humid and I feel languid. That said, I did see one thing of interest today.

A film shoot taking place in front of Brooklyn Label…

replete with trucks and tents on Java Street.

The woman in red gave detailed instructions to the actors (the man and woman behind her) to wait until the light turned and cross the street. At first this level of direction struck me as being a little excessive, but then I noticed this missive down the street…

this on Driggs Avenue…

and this in the women’s restroom at San Loco.

I suppose some people are in need of more detailed instruction than others.

P.S.: Anyone know what this film shoot was for? Just curious.
