Foudroyant in Manhattan

BY Sara Blechman | March 25, 2009 | FILED UNDER Foudroyant, Manhattan

I went to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on 110th Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan. The Cathedral is stunning, but I was more dazzled by the surprising inhabitant of the Cathedral’s gardens. Here is even more evidence of the breathtaking unpredictability and wonder of New York.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqKhMhMw1Bw

Cellular Welkin

BY JD Amato | March 24, 2009 | FILED UNDER Manhattan, Welkin

In trying to understand the sky and heavens above New York, I decided to take the most simple approach I could muster: observation. Everyday for two weeks I took reference footage of the sky above New York with my cellphone in the off chance that I would capture something that I haven’t noticed during my day to day operations.

At the end of those two weeks of observation I met a man, Jonathon (with his kids), on the sidewalk outside of a small East Village congregation and he proceeded to welcome me inside and talk with me about his perception of heaven. I recorded our conversation on my cellphone.

Bronx Density Map On his land use and transportation blog, Starts and Fits, Aaron Donovan, examines Charlotte Street, and the effort to bring suburbia to the Bronx in “New Hope in the Bronx.” The post is from 2006, but thoroughly examines the history of development in the area using detailed maps and diagrams.

THREE BROTHERS all at once: Holus Bolus by Matthew Kotzin

This a portrait of my three friends Lou, Blake and Xavier, who also happen to be roommates.

However, instead of focusing on each individual’s portrait, in THREE BROTHERS I explore to what extent my perception of each individual is an entity that would be incomplete without reference to the others.

All three tell of adventures either true or fictitious: Holus Bolus.
