New York/The Bronx

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 scene of utter urban devastation. It's a pretty vibrant area today, though not without its gritty aspects.

If you were watching the Yankees-Mets game on TV last night, delayed an hour by dramatic, but quickly passing, thunderstorms, you saw some shots of an improbably vibrant orange sky over the ballpark. Believe it--I could see the same sky from my balcony in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
