The establishment on the right is one of a chain of restaurant/deli's in New York called "Cosi." I guess they must serve coffee and croissants, etc -- because this photo was taken at 8:35 AM, which means it was far to early for them to be serving lunch.

I spent the first two weeks of September 2015 on a river cruise down the Rhine River, with daily visits to ancient (German) castles and small (German) villages along the way. Our trip culminated in Berlin (pictures forthcoming over the next week or so), where we stayed in a terrific hotel in what was once East Berlin … but was no longer distinguishable from any other part of Berlin …
Anyway, I thought it might be helpful to know a few German words and phrases besides what little I remembered from four years of high-school German, taken a lifetime ago… so I signed up for a one-week intensive one-on-one German class at the Berlitz school in mid-town Manhattan. I’m not sure how much I really learned, and I doubt that I’ll remember very much at all in a month or two … but I do think it was a worthwhile exercise.
The “exercise” involved daily trips, via subway, from Manhattan's Upper West Side to the IRT station at 50th Street and Seventh Avenue — from which I walked a couple blocks east to the Berlitz location near Rockefeller Center. When the class was over each day, I retraced my steps to get back home.
Naturally, I had my camera with me while I made this daily journey; and I couldn’t help snapping a few photos along the way. Most of the people that I saw were tourists … but there were a few “native” New Yorkers, and a few others of dubious origin.
Not the greatest photos in the world, I’m sure … but it shows you another “slice of life” in the Big Apple.
he sits steady, grounded in posture and presence. there’s no pretense, no performance — only the soft gravity of a man who watches, waits, and holds a space. his uniform says “security,” but the gaze, the gesture, the stillness — they speak of something deeper: responsibility worn without noise.

This is just to the right of where I photographed the video crew (for those of you who do not live in L.A.). The guys in the suits are probably security, but the suits make them look like they are Secret Service agents. When I took the photo it was way too early for audiences to be allowed into the theater. Since I don't come by here very often, I have no idea when the audience gathers to be let in. But if you are a Jimmy Kimmel fan, this is the place where he does his show.

Cebu is covered in my new book Queen of the South. It contains 66 B&W-photographs of natural beauty, grungy cities and interesting people in the Visayas in the Philippines.
Queen of the South is sold at cost price with a small mark-up. The mark-up will benefit in full some of the slum dwellers featured in the book and in this set.
Instead of my vanity project, you can also sponsor these people directly via Action for Nurturing Children and Environment, Inc. (Philippines) or their German sponsors Kinder in Not.
From this shot, you might have thought that this place was fairly quiet considering there was only a guard but honestly the Agra Fort was packed with tourists. I have to wait for that precious few seconds for everyone to clear. I am sure ppl are wondering why is this guy (me!) hanging around the same spot all the time? Creepy lol!

An evening of idiots masquerading as security guards in London's Canary Wharf with Neil Rushby. Some of the security were very nice and polite but two in particular were complete assholes! Asshole No.1 tried to insist we use safety cones around our tripods for health and safety reasons and Asshole No.2 walked past us and locked us behind a security gate (with no warning). Asshole No.2 also gave my son grief too, not happy! Despite that we had a great evening's walkabout with plenty of shots in the bag.
