Not quite completed. Jon Yung of My Architect had been the architect for this building. He's also the architect for 42-19 24th St @ Queens Plaza South, as well as a bunch of others I've photographed. Whenever you embark on an ongoing photo project, you inevitably connect a lot of dots along the way.

One of the nicest things about my job is the ability to work to/fro my place of employment each day. And rain or shine, I walk and love it! Along my walks I certainly see a lot of strange people and things. The "regular commuters" are apparently the one's in the cars, on the buses and subways, though us walkers, we are certainly having much more fun

This building houses the offices of the Social Security Administration and makes up half of the Alma Corporate Plaza which is comprised of two large office buildings in the neighborhood of Dutch Kills, Queens. Both buildings are quite spacious and I can totally see Alma (which is actually a real estate company) selling each of these properties off to developers. Another wait and see. One of many

In the background sits Rise, luxury condos, where the high-end Butterfield Market will soon occupy its ground floor. In the foreground sits the previous Quality Inn, now a shelter for homeless men since the pandemic. On the far left corner, not shown, at 29th St/40th Ave, sits Verve, a hotel for homeless women. And one block south sits the former Fairfield Inn & Suites at 29-27 40th Rd, which houses formerly incarcerated individuals who are trying to make a fresh start. And sprinkled between all of that are either new buildings or construction sites for luxury rentals or condos.

 

I'm curious to see how this dynamic plays out

This afternoon I came upon this cup rolling back and forth on a sidewalk nearby my office and I just stopped and watched it for awhile. It reminded me of the plastic bag video from the movie "American Beauty", and I just felt compelled to video-tape it

In the mid-1980's I had attended photography school in this red bricked corner mansion, which stands at 94th Street and Fifth Avenue, directly across from Central Park in New York City. Isn't that wild. From the early 1970's thru until the late 1990's, The International Center of Photography (ICP) had its founding location, museum and school situated in the Willard D. Straight house, a mansion built along NYC's famed museum mile

 

I had enrolled at ICP to study the art & science of black and white film photography

New York State Pavilion

Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York City

 

Structures built for World’s Fairs are usually built to be taken down. This happened with nearly every building from the 1939 World’s Fair, including the Trylon and Perisphere, and most of the buildings from the 1964 Fair. While many of the major pavilions were deconstructed (and sometimes shipped to other places), there are still remnants of the Fairs that exist today. These vestiges of the fairs have since become iconic landmarks of New York City such as the Parachute Jump in Coney Island, the Unisphere in Flushing Meadow-Corona Park in Queens, and the Queens Museum. Another World’s Fair remnant that it is hard to picture New York City without is the New York State Pavilion. Once the 1964-65 Fair wrapped, however, the future of the Pavilion was uncertain.

My neighborhood desperately needs additional supermarkets and for the past several years now there's been a huge influx of Asian citizens moving into the area. Whoever's responsible for constructing this Asian-centric supermarket is going to make a fortune

A new rendering has been revealed for 29-15 40th Road, an upcoming 12-story residential building in Long Island City, Queens.

Hard to believe how I'm going to turn 62 this August. Feel amazing. Been off both alcohol (2.5-years) and cigarettes (3-years), having quit both cold turkey. I was ready. I'm proud of myself for that
