Mayor Zohran Mamdani on a parade float during the Knicks Victory Parade.
A photograph of the sun rising over a street and under-construction train station in The Bronx. We are on an overpass looking at the sun, which has just risen. Chainlinks from the overpass gate frame the sun in the center of the photo. The sky is filled with clouds but we can see areas of blue sky. The horizon is orange from the light of the sun. On the right side of the photo an Amtrak train speeds away from us, almost as if it is heading into the rising sun.
A view of the Manhattan skyline as seen from the Brooklyn Bridge. We are standing on the Brooklyn Bridge, facing north. We can see the lower Manhattan skyline in the distance, including One World Trade Center, the tall tower on the left side of the photo. Before us are the distinctive arches of the Brooklyn Bridge. Silhouettes of people that we can't clearly make out are walking along the wooden "boardwalk" of the bridge. The sky is shades of light blue and pink.
A gloved protestor holds up a sign that says "FUCK ICE FUCK ICE FUCK ICE". In the distance are the lights from city buildings, blurred due to shallow depth-of-field.
A video of protestors marching in New York City at night. The street is filled with protestors heading towards the Empire State Building.
A crowd of New Yorkers giving the finger to Trump Tower as the walk by carrying signs depicting anti-ICE slogans.
A woman stands in front of a large crowd of nighttime protestors holding a hand-crafted sign that says "Renee Nicole Good was shot by ICE, JUSTICIA". Beneath the sign is a bouquet of white tulips. We do not see her face as the photo is taken from behind her.
A photograph of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, lit up at night, on December 22, 2025. We are standing in the crowd facing the tree. We can't really make out the other people around us but we can see that two women on the lower right-hand side of the photo are posing for a selfie in front of the tree. In the center of the photo, a person holds up a phone to take video of the tree.
A video of ice skaters in Bryant Park. The rink has large snowflakes projected onto the ice as skaters of various ages skate by. In the background we can see the top of the Empire State Building as it towers over the other buildings.
A photograph of the Chrysler Building lit up just as night falls on the city. We are facing east and can see the Chrysler Building. The building's lights have come on as the sun has just set. The sky is still a bit blue with a pinkish purple on the horizon. In the foreground of the photo we can see the Vanderbilt Avenue entrance to Grand Central Terminal. People are walking into and out of the station. They look like silhouettes against the yellowish-orange glow of the lights above the doors to the Terminal's entrance.
A photo of the Central Park Lake, in Central Park, New York City. We can see several people enjoying rowboat rides on the lake surrounded by trees displaying varying autumn colors. In the center of the photo is the apartment building called The San Remo, famous and distinct for it's "twin tower" design.
A close-up of a New York City mayoral election ballot with Zohran Mamdani filled in as the choice.
Times Square filled with protestors.
A short video of this morning's sunrise as seen from an overpass in The Bronx. We are looking through a chain-link fence on the overpass and can see the sun rising over a bike path and a highway. A young man on a scooter rides towards us while a deliveryman on an e-bike rides away from us. The wind blows through trees and grass which are all lit up in golden tones from the rising sun.
In the first scene of the video, we can see people on bicycles riding through a tunnel in New York City. Alongside the bikers in the tunnel are people jogging and walking. In the second scene of the video we are following some bikers as the group heads towards Grand Central Terminal. The video is taken from my perspective, I was riding a bicycle too.
A short video of the sunset as seen from the 6 train in New York City. Through the windows of the subway doors we can see the sun setting in the distance over residential houses in The Bronx. The sky has reddish, purple and golden tones with a few storm clouds.
A member of the "Dykes on Bikes" motorcycle group displays a "NO KINGS NO FASCISTS" sign as she rides along in the parade.
Close-up of a voting ballot where Zohran Mamdani is filled in as choice number one.
A No Kings Day protestor dressed up as Donald Trump in a Trump mask with the appropriate attire of an orange prison jumpsuit. He waves to the crowd.
A photograph of some storm clouds over Queens Boulevard in New York City. We are looking out of a window across Queens Boulevard. The street below us is wet as a rainstorm has just passed through the area. Across the street are some residential buildings. Above them are dramatic storm clouds, illuminated in golden tones by the setting sun. Behind them is a deep blue sky.
A photograph of the Empire State Building on a rainy night in New York City. We are standing on a street corner in Manhattan, looking North. We are right next the entrance of a subway station. The two lamps of the station entrance are lit up. Beyond the station entrance we can see a yellow taxi driving along the wet street. On the other side of the street, past the taxi, we see lots of trees from a small park. And in the distance behind the trees we can see the tip of the Empire State Building, lit up against a backdrop of pinkish storm clouds.
A video from Times Square on a cloudy day. We are walking north in a moderately crowded Times Square and see a person wearing a giant Pikachu costume. They are sort of bouncing up and down in the costume. We walk past them and then in the next frame we are walking south in Times Square to see the huge Pikachu face, along with other people dressed as Mario and Mini Mouse.
United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez waves to the crowd after her speech.
A photograph of Central Park South on a warm, sunny spring day in April. We are in Central Park, facing south. We can see sunbathers on the grass on blankets. The sunbathers are mostly young couples in the foreground of the photo, but we can make out groups of friends and families in the distance. All of them are facing away from us. There is a rock formation towards the center of the photo that people are walking on. Trees line the horizon. Some trees have their spring leaves while other trees are still mostly barren branches. Far in the distance we can see the buildings of the so-called "Billionaire's Row" — several luxury skyscrapers which are tall enough and close enough together to form an intermediate skyline.
A protestor at the "Hands Off" protest in New York City holds up a sign that simply says "FUCK THIS!"
A view of Lower Manhattan as seen from Queens. We are in Queens on Skillman Avenue, heading back to Manhattan. Ahead of us are parked cars and a bike lane. In the distance we can see the buildings that make up part of Lower Manhattan's skyline. They are lit up because the sun is setting. Above the buildings are dramatic, dark storm clouds from a storm that has just passed through Queens. The clouds are breaking up enough to reveal the yellow, pink, purple and blue colors of the sunset.
A view of the Empire State Building as seen from the High Line in New York City at night. We are standing on the High Line, looking East. A residential building is in front of us. Some of the windows of the building are lit up, but most are dark. Behind the building in the distance is the Empire State Building, lit up in purple (I don't know why it was purple that night). We can also see the street below as trucks and cars move along.
A first-person perspective video of me loading Kodak film into a Nikon SLR camera. The camera is silver and black, and the roll of film is yellow and white. You can see both of my hands as I try to load the film into the camera.
A night photo of the view from the Manhattan Bridge. We are back on on the pedestrian path of the Manhattan Bridge. Looking across the water of the East River, we can see One World Trade Center, the tallest building with the spire, lit up in the center-right of the photo. Other, less-impressive buildings surround it, forming a unique portion of the New York City skyline that can only be seen from Brooklyn. On the left side of the photo we can make out the angular lights of the Brooklyn Bridge.
A photograph of the Washington Square Park Arch and the Washington Square Park Christmas Tree. We are in the middle of the street facing south, looking at the Washington Square Park Arch. In the center of the arch is the Christmas Tree. It's kind of a skinny tree and lit up with yellowish lights that do not change color, but it's still a nice tree. The sun has just set and if we look past the tree we can see the tail-end of an NYPD police car, and looking even further we make out the upper part of One World Trade Center with its distinctive spire. In the foreground of the photo, a woman in a blue jacket and black pants walks across the street in the crosswalk. Various other people are positioned around the base of the Arch: from left to right, a young man with a bicycle checks his phone, a group of young people in winter clothing pose and take photos beneath the tree, and a woman is using her phone to take pictures of the sculptural details of the Arch.
We are outside at a rooftop bar during the last week of November in New York City. It's cold outside, but that's not going to stop tourists and New Yorkers from getting drunk on a rooftop. The rooftop is packed, but we can only see about five or six people in front of us, sitting and drinking on the bottom edge of the photo. They are bundled up in winter hats and coats, including a young woman in a white winter coat, scarf and a thick white winter hat. She is seated next to a hatless man wearing glasses. Due to overexposure in the highlights of the photo, we can't clearly make out any of their faces. Behind them is a fence, and on the fence are large light-up snowflakes. Rising above them is the Empire State Building, which dominates the center of the photo. It seems to glow against a cloudy night sky. There are other buildings around it, but they look tiny in comparison because they are even further in the distance.
A photograph of autumn leaves with the sun rising behind them. We are in The Bronx, NYC, but we could be anywhere. We see a few red autumn leaves leaves dangling from tree branches. In the distance and out of focus due to shallow depth-of-field, we can see the rising sun on the horizon. The sun has turned the horizon a beautiful golden color, but the sky above it is blue. The light from the sun shines through the leaves, letting us clearly see details on them such as veins and spots.
A photograph taken on the Brooklyn Bridge of the Manhattan skyline just after the sun has gone down. We are on the Brooklyn Bridge, facing away from Brooklyn and looking towards Manhattan. The sun has set, and the horizon has turned orange with hints of pink. We can see lower Manhattan and its distinctive skyline, dominated by One World Trade Center (the tower with the antenna). On the right side of the photo we can see the pedestrian walkway. There are people walking along the walkway but we can't see them clearly as the shadows are strong from the lack of light. We see the arches of the Brooklyn Bridge above the walkway, but a distinctive lamp is what we notice first. Below us is the lower level of the bridge, which is exclusively for cars. We can barely make out a few headlights of cars that are heading away from Manhattan and into Brooklyn.
A photograph of the sunset as seen from The Bronx. We are on the Third Avenue Bridge, which connects The South Bronx to Manhattan. Of course, we are on The Bronx side of the bridge, looking west at the setting sun. What we see in the distance on the horizon are the buildings of Harlem, across The Harlem River. We can't really make out any details of any buildings, but they line the horizon in various shapes and sizes. As the sun sets the sky has turned tones of gold and purple, with an ominous storm cloud on the right side of the photo.
A photo looking across the Central Park Reservoir. We are standing on the east side of the Reservoir looking west across the water. There are wispy clouds against a blue sky. The horizon is fiery orange and yellow; the sun has just set behind a row of buildings on Central Park West which are almost silhouetted by the fading light. Most of the buildings are indistinct, but we can see the famous El Dorado Apartments (the two towers) on the right-hand side of the photo. Real New Yorkers simply call it the Central Park Reservoir, but officially it’s called The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. The Reservoir stretches from 86th to 96th street, and from 5th avenue to Central Park West. The Reservoir was decommissioned in 1993 and no longer actually supplies water to the city. It is preserved as a landmark by the city.
We are standing on the top of The Vessel, a structure on the West Side of Manhattan at Hudson Yards in New York City. We're standing on the easternmost top platform. We are facing west looking towards a dramatic purple and red sky as the sun has just set over New Jersey, across the river. We see the silhouettes of about 20 people watching and photographing the sunset on the opposite westernmost top platform. Far below them we can make out the train tracks of the Hudson Rail Yard. New Yorkers and people who keep up with the news will know that this is an older photo, taken just before The Vessel was temporarily closed for a few seasons. The structure was closed due to several suicides. People would visit and jump off of the very top of The Vessel, since due to its unfortunate design, the railings are very low and easy to climb over. The railings are about chest high for an average adult, something that you may be able to discern from this photo. In total, four people committed suicide at The Vessel before it was temporarily closed to the public. This year, The Vessel is open again, but no one is allowed on the top of it anymore; visitors can only enter the lower levels of the structure. The people in this photo are among the last people who will ever have this particular experience.
A video of the fountain at Washington Square Park. We are standing on the north side of Washington Square Park in New York City, looking south. We see the famous fountain in front of us. A large jet of water shoots upwards while smaller streams of water are on each side. Colorful autumn trees in the background sway in the wind while people walk beneath them.
A photo of my sunglasses resting on my Election Day ballot. Beneath the sunglasses the ballot partially reads "Official Ballot for ... City of New York .. November 5, 2024" The bubble for Kamala Harris is filled in and I voted Democratic all the way down the ballot.
A video of pink and yellow skies during an early morning ride on the number 6 subway train. We are looking through the two windows on the door of an elevated subway car as the train moves through The Bronx. The skies have some clouds and are pink and yellow from the rising sun. The video is a bit shaky since we are moving fast. We can make out autumn trees and some buildings, including a high school, on the landscape below us.
A photo of One World Trade Center as seen through a window in the Empire State Building. We are inside the Empire State Building on the 80th floor. We are standing behind two tourists, looking over their shoulders as they gaze at the horizon through the window. In the center we see One World Trade center set against a cloudy evening sky. The lights have come on for various buildings below. On the right we can make out Ellis Island and a tiny Statue of Liberty. There is some distortion to the photo since it was taken through glass; of course the windows on the 80th floor of the Empire State Building are always closed. The Observation Deck on the 86th floor, which allows you to stand outside, provides clearer views.
A short video from the WNBA NY Liberty victory parade in Manhattan this morning, October 24th, 2024. The NY Liberty's famous mascot, Ellie the Elephant, walks along the parade route shaking hands with fans behind the barricade, and shakes my hand when I reach out.
A photograph of the Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge in the evening, beneath a bright moon. We are in Manhattan standing beneath the FDR Drive, facing south. We are looking across the water towards Brooklyn. We are practically centered in between the two bridges. To our left is the Manhattan Bridge. To the right, the Brooklyn Bridge. The lights of both bridges are lit up, it looks like they are lined with tiny bright dots. In the middle of the photo is the moon, overexposed to the point that it looks like a bright light in the sky. Beneath the moon on the water we can make out a yacht, traveling fast enough to create a wake. The sun has recently set, giving the sky a purplish hue on the horizon.
A photograph of a lone reddish-orange leaf has fallen onto the pavement in Pelham Bay Park in The Bronx. The pavement around the leaf is wet from light drizzle. Shallow depth-of-field heavily blurs the background and foreground so all we see are the details of the leaf.
A photograph of a woman walking along a sidewalk with a subway train in the distance. We are on a sidewalk in The Bronx, New York City. It's early morning and still dark but the sky is starting to get lighter. As we look down the sidewalk we see a lone woman in a light-colored sweater and black pants walking away from us. On the left side of the sidewalk there are many closed stores, including one with a sign that says "Quick Pick Convenience". On the right side of the sidewalk we see the elevated train tracks of the Number 6 subway train. In the distance a 6 Train moves along the elevated tracks, starting to curve around us.
Placard that says "Celebrating 10M users, #327,427 PWH3 joined Jul 21, 2023". Didn't realize I had been on this site for over a year already. My how time flies.
A first-person perspective video of me riding a single-speed bike on the streets of The Bronx. You can see the bike's handlebars and my hands as I steer and maneuver through traffic.
A photograph of a street in The Bronx on an early September morning. We are beneath some elevated train tracks looking at a sidewalk nearby. Two women and a man are standing in front of a deli on the street corner. Parked on the corner is a white van with a construction worker's safety vest on the dashboard. On the cross street a delivery man on a moped speeds out of the frame. In the distance we see a clear sky of purple and orange as the sun is just about to rise.
A photograph of the open door of a Bronx deli. We can see a young man in the doorway, facing away from us, wearing a green hoodie, jeans and a backpack. He is likely waiting for the deli workers to complete a breakfast order.
A photograph of a sunrise over a highway in The Bronx. We are standing on an overpass above the highway. In the distance we see a row of cars on the highway just beneath the sun as it rises above a tree-lined horizon. There are wispy clouds in the sky around the sun. There's a short chain-link fence right in front of us. To the left is a green metal pillar of the overpass. There's some graffiti on it. Also on the overpass are a few stickers and a flier for a missing Chihuahua named Fruki.
A photograph of a sunset as seen from a rooftop bar in Manhattan, New York City. We are facing west, so that is New Jersey in the distance. Anyway, the sunset sky contains wispy clouds surrounding a yellow sun that seems to melt into the horizon. The clouds are grayish and there are hints of a blue sky behind them. The horizon has turned orange from the setting sun. In the foreground, many well-dressed young people are talking with each other and drinking.
We are on 124th street in Harlem, facing west. A young African-American boy wearing blue swimming shorts and a white tank top walks along the street. He is walking on the sidewalk in front of a row of colorful brownstone homes. The street is lined with trees and a few parked cars. The sky is blue with a cloud in the center.
A photograph of a young woman as she stands facing away from us on the Brooklyn Promenade. She is leaning against the railing looking at the Manhattan skyline in New York City on a summer evening. She has long black hair and wears a striped short summer dress. In the center of the photo is One World Trade Center.
A close-up photograph of a vivid pink hibiscus flower growing in The Bronx, New York City. The side of a blue New York City bus that says "I Love NY" is in the background.
A photo of people walking along the pedestrian walkway of the Brooklyn Bridge. We are on the Brooklyn Bridge near sunset time, looking towards Manhattan. A young blonde woman in a blue summer outfit and her young son who is wearing a striped shirt and shorts are walking towards us. Many others are standing in the bridge taking photos of the colorful sunset sky. and views of the Manhattan skyline.
We are on a rooftop in Manhattan, facing East. We have a view of several buildings surrounding Times Square including the W Hotel, the Bank of America Tower (with the green spire) and 4 Times Square (the H&M building). On the rooftop with us are various party goers, taking pictures, laughing and drinking, but we can't make them all out clearly. Right in front of us on this rooftop is a glowing blue reflecting pool.
