speechless sunday: Fifth Avenue Manhattan | Speechless Easter Sunday 2012 - 04/08/12 03:52 PM
On the avenue, Fifth avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet,
You'll be the grandest fellow in the Easter parade.
You'll be the grandest dogin the Easter parade.
You'll be the grandest couple in the Easter parade.
Oh, I could write about your Easter bonnet,
Saint Patricks Cathedral
Happy Easter!
I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful Easter Sunday
Home Sweet Home!

speechless sunday: Speechless Sunday: Pet Friendly Manhattan - 12/04/11 09:46 AM
A few of my 4 legged neighbors (photo shot Friday in front of my Upper West Side home)
Photo shot a couple of years ago on West 72nd St. I've never seen that dog-walker again.
New York City is a vibrant destination for visitors and residents year-round - whether they're four-legged or two-legged. Not only are most condos and many co-ops dog friendly in Manhattan but there are dog friendly hotels, restaurants and department stores.

speechless sunday: Deadly Sin of Real Estate - Greed! - 10/02/11 08:39 AM
"Don't it always seem to go that you dont know what you've got til it's gone....
Four years ago, I posted a blog on activerain titled Say No to Drugs Store Chains when I discovered that all the stores on my block were being forced to close. First The Malaysia Grill at the corner then the next day I discovered the Korean family that owned my local produce 24 hour grocery store was packing up and leaving after 15 years because the landlord wouldn't renew their lease. The new landlord who just inherited the building probably thought he could do better with … (14 comments)

B'nai Jeshurun - 257 West 88th Street on the Upper West Side is the second oldest synogogue in Manhattan
While hundreds of people have been waiting to get married this morning at the Marriage Bureau on Worth Street, B'nai Jeshurun was at the forefront of the fight to make this a reality. Five years ago, congregants formed a Marriage Equality Hevra, a term meaning "community," to join the campaign for the passage of gay marriage as part of the synagogue's social justice initiative.
The synagogue has been administering same sex commitment ceremonies since 1991 but today New York State … (6 comments)

speechless sunday: Speechless Sunday: Happy Father's Day Dad - 06/19/11 11:29 AM
My father is 86 years old. When he was younger he was an award winning news photographer. He covered Presidents and the news of the day. Many of my childhood memories are captured in great photos by my Dad. I didn't always like posing until he got the perfect shot but in the long run it was worth it.
He gave me my first Brownie camera and then a Nikon. I never really liked the technical aspect of photography learning the F-stops and lighting and waiting for the film to be developed. Our garage was filled with dark room photo equipment. … (14 comments)

I was expecting to see sailors all over town since it's Fleet Week but after showing Lofts in Tribeca, I spotted this man on Franklin street. He is not wearing a uniform instead he is wearing a sign/ advertisement.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. Have a great Memorial Day!

speechless sunday: Speechless Sunday: Live Who You Are - 09/12/10 08:50 AM
It's where you live.... and it's who you are. Live who you are
It's never just a house or an apartment. It's more than a zip code more than a skylight. More than a hard wood floor and pre-war details. When it's right, a home is not just the physical space where you reside, it's where you come to life. It's the first, best expression of who you are as an individual, as a couple, as a family.
It's where you live.... and it's who you are. Live who you are.
Live who you are … (21 comments)
