Greenpoint Slide Show Du Jour: Blizzard 2010
As promised, here is a mini slide show of highlights from my walk around north Greenpoint this morning. Enjoy!
And on that note, dear readers, I am off to prepare a little wintertime stew! You can view more nifty images of snow white Greenpoint by checking out the New York Shitty photo pool.

Happy New Year From New York Shitty!
I know what you’re thinking. It is probably what I thought when I encountered the above item (which hails from Clay Street):
I have never seen a Suburu Outback station wagon with a flame job.
Well, now you have. Welcome to brave new world that is Greenpoint 2010!

P.S.: Special props goes out to the Mark Bar for playing “Holiday in Cambodia” by the Dead Kennedys at 1:39 this morning. While not the most conventional way to hail in the new year, it is certainly compelling.

The above photograph is probably in some part responsible for motivating me to write about Greenpoint. Like most things in my life, it was an accident. I had shot a roll of film, then 9/11 happened. Not having the means to buy more film I rewound it, thus creating this double exposure of life on Manhattan Avenue juxtaposed with Manhattan going black.
I do not want to suggest that this photo set is dark. It isn’t. The Garden Spot of the Universe and the people who live here are resilient and vibrant. But it does make one wonder about how things have changed since these photographs were taken.
My favorite is this one, lest you are wondering.
