May 28, 2004: Cortlandt Alley 1
Cortlandt Alley is turning into another High Line- a place where all the NYC photobloggers must go and pay tribute. I saw Mike's post on it the other day, and it struck me that taking pictures of Cortlandt during the day is like going to Yankee Stadium when there is no game on- interesting, but ill-timed. So I've gone back and reshot some of his stuff in the middle of the night. Same shots, different time.

i think that going to yankee stadium during the day when there is no game is the best time to go. none of those annoying yankee fans.
I had quite a worthwhile trip to Yankee Stadium once when there wasn't a game:

The light and color in the first four shots look so natural. None of the yellow tint that usually accompay streetlighted shots.
And for the record there's no better place to be than in Yankee Stadium with three outs to go in a clinching series game and the ball in Mariano's hand.
the last shot with the motorcycle under the stairs is great.
Parents need more kid safe web sites! We cant let our kids surf the web without
being directed to some inappropriate site. Dont believe me? Do a search on
Pocahontas and watch how many inappropriate sites come up. Even major kids
search engines only block certain words, there are ways around that. The only one I
have found so far was at http://www.netsx.org , I dont know about most parents
but we dont have time to monitor our kids every second when they want to go on
the computer. Anyway rant off.
