While up in Oneonta visiting Genevieve’s family, we went up to Cooperstown where I finally, yes FINALLY, visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame. I’ll be putting up a whole bunch of photos in batches. This first set is just the gallery with the plaques and related miscellany.

I think these guys are working on installing a new water pipe along East 4th Street in the East Village but I’m not quite sure. Still, check out the balancing act atop that pipe!

Okay, confession time – I sometimes forget what photos I’ve taken. The above photo is a good example. I found it online when searching for “wonggawei”, my Flickr account nickname and came across a blog that was using it in a post. Once I saw it, I remembered that I took it while walking across the 59th Street Bridge in an attempt to save on a subway fare since I didn’t want to spend the money on a monthly card at the time. Stupid me.

Okay, it’s not a light show actually. I just kept my finger covering the flash while moving the camera down when depressing the shooting button. Pretty neat though, right?

With the trade of Carmelo Anthony and company to the New York Knicks, that meant a bevy of players would be headed in the opposite direction to Denver. Among them were Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, and my favorite Knick Danilo Gallinari. I stopped by Madison Square Garden late afternoon yesterday and they’d already removed the banners for those three players. They sure are moving quickly to erase any reminder that these three had been with the team. Now it’s just a question as to when banners for Anthony, Chauncey Billups, and one other player will go up in those empty spots.

Spending a few hours on my last day in Seattle just wandering around Bainbridge Island was a relaxing, idyllic time.

Few things in life are more beautiful than a perfectly poured stout on nitro.

On my last full day in Seattle, I took a ferry over to Bainbridge Island and as the boat left for the island, I looked back over and took this photo.

Looking for a novel way to share your love this Black Monday?
The heart is a ten-foot diameter lightweight construction with an open weave fabric that allows wind to pass through, but still captures and reflects light. The main structure is constructed of aluminum elliptical loops radially arranged with rotating connections. The fabric skin integrates the cross-grain substructure of flexible ribs with the main loops.
Without volunteers, the heart lies flat on the ground. Only when the group lifts up the structure does it become a heart!
Basically, it’s an art installation comprised of red fabric stretched over elliptical steel loops that, when held up, looks like a heart. Happy Valentine’s Day indeed.

I’m reminded of a time when $2 at one of these Papaya places would get me two hot dogs and a soda. Sadly, these recession specials (at least at that low price) are few and far between. This one at the corner of 6th Avenue, Cornelia Street, and West 4th Street is a Papaya Dog, not to be confused with Gray’s Papaya or Papaya King or whatever else there is.
