Urban Fur: Scaly At Gantry
Today yours truly knocked around Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Long Island City. It was at Gantry State Park where I encountered this, the first lizard to be featured as an urban fur. His name is Draco (which his winsome keeper made emphatically clear means “dragon”) and all the Greenpointers reading this will be pleased as punch to know he calls our very own Kent Street home!

You’ve been running some of my photos from the flickr pool for a while and I figured I should introduce myself and let you know how much I appreciate your blogging of daily eccentricities. When I moved to New York over a year ago and trying to figure out where to live, NYShitty was one of the things that brought the Garden Spot to my attention. I was drawn by the unpretentious quirkiness that I saw in your pictures and now that I’ve been living here for a while, I don’t want to live anywhere else.
For the past few months I’ve been working on a project about our local treasure, Newtown Creek, that you’ve been running photos from. I’m a photographer professionally but have been bumming around the creek out of personal curiosity and it’s great to be able to have the work in progress seen by a local audience. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of the pictures already but I have a selection of works so far at my website.
Give Noah’s shots a look-see. They’re amazing!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Alas, Poor Teddy…
even if I didn’t know him well. It’s been just over a year since I documented the testament to Teddy that is the now defunct Infinity Club.
And the props just keep on coming.
What a guy.

New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Queens Selections
Filed under: 11101, 11104, Corona, Corona Queens, Elmhurst, Elmhurst Queens, Long Island City, Long Island City Queens, Sunnyside, Sunnyside Queens
As I mentioned previously today I took an afternoon sojourn in Queens. Truth be told, I was not in “in the zone”. Some days I am more photographically-inclined than others. But I did have my moments— such as the above image. It has a certain Edward Hopper quality I kind of like. What was even more interesting is what I stumbled upon— quite literally— immediately after taking said photo.
A motel fit for a queen— albeit one on a tight schedule. I told the Mister this is where I want to spend our fourth wedding anniversary. He quipped that he was nonplussed that they don’t charge by the quarter hour. So it goes. Without further ado here are some shots from today’s sojourn around Queens. Enjoy!

P.S.: It has been brought to my attention that the peeps at he MTA have big plans for the humble G train. That being shutting it down between Bedford Nostrand and Court Square for six whole weekends!

I have little doubt this will work wonders for our local businesses.
