Roof party in Brooklyn — © Brian Rose Did another round of pick up basketball pictures at some courts in Chinatown. Early in the evening a fierce, but brief, thunderstorm passed through leaving the air fresh and cool. Roof party in Brooklyn was interrupted, but resumed under a brilliant rainbow. This morning I got out […]

Southern Boulevard, the Bronx — © Brian Rose I went up to the Bronx yesterday to scout a building for a client. It’s going to be tricky photographing it because it stands adjacent to an elevated subway line. The number 2 and 5 trains run along here, which in the ’70s and ’80s, was the […]

There were hundreds of people walking the former rail viaduct, but it was not uncomfortably crowded. That could change if the weather is good […]
