Remnant of Superstorm Sandy
Coney Island Beach/Brooklyn NYC 2012

October 2012, Superstorm Sandy bore down on the east coast of the U.S. wreaking havoc. As I write this, a storm (though not as severe) is about to wreak its havoc for about nearly thirteen years later.
A black-and-white photograph taken on the Coney Island boardwalk days after super storm, Sandy in October 2012. The Sand full of footsteps. Meanwhile, a washed up refrigerator sits on the beach in the distance, the coney island pier jets out into the Atlantic Ocean waters as the low angle of the late afternoon sun casts its long shadow on the rough surface of sand on the beach.

Presented here is a black-and-white photograph taken in Times Square. It shows a relatively large group of people crossing a crosswalk, as they crossed their past, or slightly impeded by cars backed up in traffic. It looks on their faces of the pedestrians is seemingly one of probably impatiens, but mostly determination to get to the destination.

A close-up color photograph of a flowering plant. I don't know the type of species of the plant, unfortunately. The unique thing about this photograph is there's an approaching insect that I assume to be a Bee inches away from landing on it for possible pollination.

A close-up black-and-white photograph of a set of steps to an upper west side church. The steps are not level due to decades of wear and tear. The close-up shows them to be rickety and holy out of level to the point where they're very hard to walk up or down.

Color photograph of a street scene in midtown Manhattan. A rather cold afternoon as pedestrians walk about a random street corner in winter coats. Approaching camera from left, a young man with the hood of his coat over his head eyes straight-ahead with a blank stare. All around him, other pedestrians walk by in their own world, going about their tasks for the day. Just another random day.
