New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Two Feet, Two Boroughs, Three Bridges & Four Hours

As I intimated yesterday I took a four hour photo walk with an occasional contributor to the New York Shitty photo pool and full-time Greenpointer: Noah Devereaux. He was the tour guide. Where he went, I followed. Chattering a great deal of the way. The following should give you some idea of our route.
We started at Greenpoint and Manhattan Avenue at 6:00 p.m. and, almost four hours later, ended up back there. The following slide show (including the lovely, if surreal, shots of the ecological wonder that is English Kills— which grace the beginning of this post) features everything in between. Enjoy!
As always you can (and should) view these images in large format by clicking here.

Rounding today’s post (because I have just returned from four hour photo walk with the fabulously talented and equally nice Noah Devereaux— I’m beat and have over 200 photos to sort!) I present to you another nifty light sculpture by Justin Mair. Great stuff!

Crosstown Local Photo Du Jour: Precious Bodily Fluids
This hails from the Union Avenue entrance of the G and L trains at Metropolitan Avenue. I am going to go out on a limb here and surmise this missive has fallen on deaf ears. I mean, if one has chosen to live in Williamsburg or Greenpoint, well, I think what you know what I am getting at. This might explain my community’s predilection for vodka, though.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: G Train Buzz

I have received no less than two emails from my fellow citizens shocked and awed by what appears to be some semblance of maintenance at the Greenpoint Avenue stop of the Crosstown Local.
Cat (who took the photograph gracing the beginning of this post) writes in an email entitled “Subway improvement?!” :
Saw this happening on the Queens bound platform of the greenpoint station this morning. Im fairly certain you posted a pic of it a while back. Perhaps the shitty, dilapidated mosaic will get a makeover?
John (who took the above photograph) opines:
Hell freezes over and they fix the signage at the Greenpoint ave G stop!
Indeed. Although I will sort of miss the “repair” job they did by placing cement in the missing tile work and employing appears to be a Sharpie marker to fill in the black spaces. One simply does not see that kind of ingenuity every day. Unless of course he (or she) happens to ride the Crosstown Local!
