lovely. i am impressed with the focus/out-of-focus style of these pictures.

hey, did you see that the gothamist linked to you and praised you to no end?

was that the hospital link? yes-- yesterday goes down as the day that gawker and gothamist gave this site more 1 second hits than it has even gotten in its 3 year existance :)

whoa.
so your blog/online journal/website/etc. has just captured, in photo and the written word, all the reasons i want to move to new york.

it has also motivated me to find five places that i absolutely adore in my own hellhole. after i find five, i'll look for a few more, and i'll have a list by the time i leave here.

so..
thanks.

Is this at the Navy yard?

I always love your photography but that last greenhouse shot is by far my most favorite.

i'd love to know where this is!

This is an old greenhouse within the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We'd never noticed it until our last visit.

i'm assuming a person needs permission to get into the navy yard? i seem to recall my mother telling me a story that she tried to explore down there and a woman came out with a shotgun and forced her to leave.

Excellent photos.

They conjure up a sort of melancholy, Victorian mood. This could easily serve as the setting for some H.G. Wells short story about breeding carnivorous plants in a derelict section of town.
