Shot in New York City's Bryant Park with the Olympus E-M1 camera and the Olympus 75mm f1.8 pro lens.
I'm really happy with this shot with it's sharp depth of field. The Olympus 75mm 1.8 prime really did the job.
Bryant-Lake refers to the location of this bowling alley and theater in the Uptown area of Minneapolis, MN. Many more details below from Wikipedia.
Bryant-Lake Bowl, locally nicknamed BLB, is a bowling alley, restaurant, bar, and 90-seat theatre in Uptown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Best known for its evening entertainment and Cheap Date Night specials (two meals, drinks, and a round of bowling for $28) BLB is also a reliable brunch stop. The theatre is a venue for cabaret and wide variety of other stage productions. It is a host of the annual Minnesota Fringe Festival.
Originally a garage, the building was converted into a bowling alley in 1936. In 1959, Minnesota bowling champion Bill Drouches bought the bowling alley. Kim Bartmann bought the business in 1993, restoring the building, opening a restaurant, and converting the game room into a 90-seat theatre. In 2018, Bryant-Lake Bowl was sold by Bartmann to longtime employee Erica Gilbert.
Bryant-Lake Bowl was featured in a 2008 episode of Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, hosted by Guy Fieri. It has also been credited as inspiring the name of the band Lake Street Dive.
In 2021, Bryant-Lake Bowl released an 87-second promotional video called Right Up Our Alley, made in one continuous shot by drone operator Jay Christensen, which went viral and garnered praise from several critics.
In 2025, Bryant-Lake Bowl was named fourth-best bowling alley in the United States in a Newsweek readers' poll.
The bar's theater hosts regular shows by theater companies and musicians. Several live albums have been recorded there, including Dan Wilson's 1998 Dan Wilson Live @ Bryant Lake Bowl, Oddjobs' Live! at the Bryant-Lake Bowl, 17–18 August 2001, and Koerner, Ray & Glover's 1996 album One Foot in the Groove.

Bryant Street townhouses were part of the eastside expansion wards in 1799. Washington Square has some of the oldest structures in Savannah having not been built before the devastating fire of 1796 which burnt down most of the wooden structures in the central wards.

On my last half day in the canelands before heading toward the Space Coast I spent the morning shooting 148 leading the rare mileage AAPRCO special on the Okeelanta Branch and then caught up with South Central Florida Express' Clewiston Switcher crew. Here is USSC Paducah rebuilt GP11 303 (originally blt. Dec. 1958 as a GP9 for the Illinois Central numbered 9380) having left SCFE's mainline (the leased FEC K Branch) shoving down the USSC ttackage to work the molasses tank farm at Bryant Yard. This large yard is mostly empty now and excepting the tank farm, and some historic equipment stored here, all I saw was one unit. But until recently this was a very busy location where the non common carrier USSC side of the operation would gather up cars for long Bryant Turn trains to be handled by the SCFE crews to and from Clewiston. But with the new 22 mile USSC mainline the east and west side lines are now connected and all cane runs can run straight from mill to loading site and return.
And going back even further this yard used to really hum supporting the Bryant Sugar House, a cane processing mill built in 1962. At one time the largest in the world and owned by US Sugar; it was shuttered in 2007 and dismantled with operations combined with an expanded and modernized Clewiston Mill.

Some folks think of happiness,
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess ...
They're not foolin' me.

This former Bryant & May matchworks in Bow was once the largest factory in London, employing almost 5,000 people in the late 19th century - most of whom were women or girls. Conditions in the factory were poor, with many workers suffering poisoning and disfigurement from the white phosphorus used in matches.
This ultimately drove the workers to strike in 1888, a landmark incident which became known as the match girls' strike. As a result of the strike the company did improve workers' conditions and it eventually changed its manufacturing process to use the less toxic red phosphorus.
The official soundtrack of this image is Darlene Love's 1963 cover of "Marshmallow World" from the classic album "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector."
Cue the LP.
