The Aftermath and Humans of New York
November 17, 2012 – 6:12 pm
While we’ve long been fans of Humans of New York, Mr. Stanton’s most recent work documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy has been pretty outstanding. Like a war correspondent, his greatest strength is finding and photographing scenes of people going about the business of rebuilding and restoring what they’ve lost- many times in a very [...]

The Road : Life’s tough, wear a helmet
August 2, 2012 – 12:50 pm
Johnny sure looked cool cruising into town with his leather perfecto and cap. The black leather outfit suited Brando’s dark and brooding character in “The Wild One”. Always cool and rebellious, Johnny was trouble, and he knew it. He was on the run from the law on the streets of 1940′s California, but here [...]
The Road: First kick
July 23, 2012 – 4:29 pm
I’m sure you’ve all had your moments. That cool stare behind dark shades, saddled over a throaty engine with the wind whipping through perfectly coiffed hair whilst riding into the sunset. It might have been “The Wild One” or “Wild Hogs,” but you remember seeing that scene and wishing that revving the remote would [...]
Why Red Hook
July 21, 2012 – 9:48 pm
I like the latest saying….Welcome to Red Hook- you made it. The phrase reminds me of Key West, The End/ Montauk or even Alaska (the place to runaway if you’re a bad ass convict). My discovery of Red Hook was first apartments back in ’06 Columbia Street/ Red Hook territory. I couldn’t go so deep [...]

What’s in a blog…
January 16, 2012 – 11:28 pm
I opened up my box of old photos and my favorite journal from high school from good ol’ Anchorage- Alaska(shout out to Bartlett… Military brat central high). ((Time has seriously stood still it feels like)). What was cool about high school was I had “civilian” friends. They didn’t sport their dads military hammy downs. It was [...]
Bored in Brooklyn? Head to Brooklyn Navy Yard
January 8, 2012 – 10:20 pm
I’m super excited to see this iconic yard start to come alive. It takes an open mind however to make the effort to trek to the Navy Yard and see beyond the griddy walls and embrace it’s history. This was our NY industry for a long time and there are hopes on making the industry [...]
