Can you feel like a child?
Can you see what I want?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find ya
But I'm alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you...

***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...
Commissioned work.

Back in 2016 when Felix and I submitted this project reaching 10k was merely a dream but now thanks to you it has come true.
Our FIAT 500 will have completed its journey successfully and stuck the landing of the "10k jump". Admittedly, it's not been an easy journey and over the past two years we had our doubts if we could make it in time. All the more we want to thank each and every one of you who supported, commented and shared so we could get there in the end. We really hope you like the improvements we've made to the initial design over the course of time in the update section. We've always tried our best to keep the updates as exciting and interesting as possible.
What comes next?
As most of you undoubtedly already know our project will now move on into what's called the LEGO Ideas review. Three times a year LEGO evaluates all the projects that reached 10k independently and checks whether they've got what it takes to become an official set. This review process usually takes a few months. We don't want to get our hopes up but the fact that LEGO approved the Caterham Seven at least shows there would be a market for relatively large scale car models.
Shortly after we reach 10k the comment thread as well as the update section will be locked. You're most welcome to follow Gabriele and me on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube though to avoid missing out on further news.
Before this happens though we want to thank a few people/groups personally.
Special thanks to:
SavetheBrick and MichielsMum aka Heleen for their continued interest and kind comments,
Nicolas Jarraud aka Scrubs who created the fantastic online LEGO CAD-software Mecabricks without which this collaboration would not have been possible,
KovJonas who created a wonderful spreadsheet to keep track of the support history of our project and also helped us with promoting,
Michael Klein aka Renderbicks who inspired our 3D presentations and gave us very useful tips,
The entire Fiat 500 Club Italia for their support and enthusiasm.
And finally all the LEGO fan clubs and websites who featured our project and made this possible.
Thank you for sharing this adventure with us and we hope it's been just as fun of a ride for you as it has been for us.
-The creators Gabriele and Felix

A weekend away started at the Great Central Railway at Loughborough with a visit to their Autumn Steam Gala.
As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Here, at Leicester North Station, 65894, a J27 0-6-0 Locomotive owned and Maintained by the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group (NELPG) is running round a train it has just hauled along the railway line.
65894 was designed by Worsdell and Raven and built at Darlington Works for NER.

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Mendip Vale Station after running round the train, 46447 is about to power the return journey to Cranmore.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

A Day Trip to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for the first day of their 2021 Autumn Steam Gala,
As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Here, Visiting from the Great Central Railway (GCR) and approaching up the 1 in 49 incline towards Goathland Station is 48305, a Stanier designed and Crewe Works built for the LMS Class 8F 2-8-0 Steam Locomotive.
Actually, although difficult to see, 48305 is the first part of a Double Header with 5428 "Eric Treacy" as a LMS and Stanier designed loco pairing and I now need to get over the footbridge to catch this train to Levisham.

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Here, after arriving at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway (EVR) for their Steam in the Valley 21 Event and going on a journey behind Steam Locomotive "Henry Ellison" from Wirksworth Station on a train up the very steep 1 in 27 Ravenstor Incline, I went along the line to Duffield Station and back hauled by BR Std. 4 Tank 80080.
Here, back at Wirksworth Station - after my second round trip, I got a photo of the other main heritage line loco in use this day GWR 9466.
9466 was designed by Hawksworth as part of the "94xx Class" for the GWR which rather strangely was built at Robert Stephenson and Hawthorn Ltd at Darlington as a 0-6-0PT.
(The DM Units were just being used as carriages).

Today children, we are looking through the….…errm……derelict window!
Now settle down quickly and we’ll begin.
Lindsey, please stop flicking ink pellets at Mya! You know she promised to bring Pakora’s in for us. You will see Miss Trunchbull at break and be prepared to be hurled out of the window!
And why have you brought that extremely large measuring cylinder in? If I weren’t mistaken, I would think it was a yard of wine glass!
Edward Coulson, please may we have your attention and when we do, I would like you to explain to your classmates the fascination in staring at the 5 people standing at the bus stop in the pouring rain!
Brian, Brian, Brian, what does it say on the door?
Yes, it says ‘classroom’. It does not say ‘Petting Zoo! In future please leave your farmyard animals at home. I would also ask if you really consider pink wellies appropriate footwear for a juvenile pig?
Honestly a horse and a pig! And what on earth is that steaming pile behind your desk?
Miss Hedman, yes, yes, yes, you can be pencil monitor next week.
Master Rouse, for the N’th time (where N is a prime integer), please put your spreadsheet and slide rule away. You’ll be pleased to know that we will be studying equilateral triangles later.
Your task for today is to match the above images to the following creatures. Please note there may be more than one correct answer to an image.
A Dumbo
B Sea Lion
C Dragon
D Sloth
E Chow Dog
F Lesser Spotted Eejit
G Angry Bird
F Knight of the Round Table
G Gymnast
Have fun and don't ask the bloody obvious question.......😂
You're all pretty cool, so today's track chose itself

A Quick Trip to see the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum - I was lucky to get a lift to the museum while a friend had an abortive shopping trip (long queues) to a shopping outlet.
As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
403 - "Victor" was Visiting from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and meeting up with 401 - "Vulcan", a Home Locomotive built by the same factory for the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum.
Here, 401 - "Vulcan" is leading Visiting Loco 403 - "Victor" as a Double-Header for the journey back from Percy Main station to Middle Engine Lane.

A Photo from Day 3 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The Swanage Railway runs trains from Norden via Corfe Castle, another station and a halt to Swanage Station or the other way round so there is some very pleasant scenery to look at and photograph when travelling along the line.
There is ample car parking at the Norden end of the line so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 2 trains running both hauled by Steam Locomotives.
Here, Bulleid Pacific 34028 "Eddystone" a SR 4-6-2 loco at Swanage Station has run round the train which recently arrived and is in position at the front of the train I will travel on as far as Corfe Castle Station.
34028 "Eddystone" is taking on Water ready for the journey.

You know that feeling when you've created a spreadsheet, then spent hours entering data from a paper copy? Then, after a few hours, you think "that's not right". So you investigate, and find out that you haven't been given all the sheets? So now, you need to go through every month, checking if there is missing data?
And you lose the will to live?
That.
I needed a break from the computer. I had a cream cake for afternoon tea break, but needed to wash up first.
I've got another task now, so tomorrow will be yet more data entry. Oh, and there is no elegant way to eat a chocolate eclair!

Another Double Railway Day and I decided to go to the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) in the morning and I can move onto the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR) in the afternoon. It is only about 50 minutes by car between the 2 railways.
When I arrived at Dereham Station on the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR), there were 2 Locomotives operating.
Here, at Dereham Station, GWR 813 is posing for Photographs with a few freight wagons.
