My Hobby
I bet this old Italian door and latch could tell some great stories if they could talk. Age builds character, and this door has what people in the antiques world would call “patina”. Google AdSense seems to think this site is all about rust, rust removers and rust inhibitors… so I guess it’s about time I put something rust related up.
The red stairs at Duffy Square sit on top of the TKTS booth on Broadway. I was hoping to climb up and take a few shots early this morning, but they were not open yet. A couple of workers were cleaning them in the freezing wind. I took my gloves off for a few minutes to get the shot, and my hands were stinging when I was done. Every time I pass the stairs at night, I give up after seeing the long line of people waiting to climb them. I think they should get a bunch of these guys in the red coveralls and a Marilyn Monroe lookalike to do a classic dance number up there… somebody get to work on that.
I’ve been in a little bit of a photo taking slump… but now that the holidays are over, I’m going to get back in the groove. As I was walking to work, I saw somebody walk through the steam coming out of this manhole cover. I waited and waited to get a similar cool shot, but nobody wanted to walk through again. I was starting to ice over, so I gave up and took some shots of cars going by. Not the cool shot I was going for, but what can you do.
