A Digital
Travelogue
Or, "Help!
I'm lost! I'm at the corner of Walk and Don't Walk"
 |
|
Welcome
to New York City, kid. Your hotel is 100 blocks down, and 30 blocks
over. Why not stop at the deli and get some fresh sliced bunny, for
the walk?
|
 |
 |
 |
|
How
to prove you're a tourist: stand on the streetcorner, and take pictures
of buildings you've seen in the movies.
|
..even
if there aren't giant apes on them when you see them in person.
|
It's
probably a lot easier to see all the buildings from 86 floors up.
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Gosh,
there sure are a lot of them. And these buildings are all good!
|
TO POOP
ON!
|
Hey
buddy, got a quarter?
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Standard
tourist shot. Note the Chrysler Building in the background.
|
Of
course, one must reciprocate.
|
Buildings!
|
 |
 |
 |
|
...and
buildings...
|
...and
buildings...
|
...and

|
 |
 |
 |
|
...and

|
Care
for some shopping?
|
Catch
a game, perhaps?
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Or
would you just prefer to look at the buildings?
|
You
could do it all day, if you felt like it!
|
There's
just so many of them. At least they stopped when they hit the ocean.
|
 |
 |
 |
|
"Geeze,
what IS this place, Grand Central Station? Oh wait. Yeah, it is."
|
Sooner
or later, the airplanes will gang up on tourists and force them to leave.
|
Up
up and awayyyyy!!
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Isn't
there some restriction about using electronic equipment during takeoff
and landing?
|
I
won't tell if you won't.
|
I
just couldn't help myself. It was such a good angle of departure, from
a photography perspective.
|
 |
 |
 |
|
There's
nothing like this kind of view to make a 30-block walk seem insignificant.
|
I
mean, Central Park is only (only!) 40 blocks long!
|
Going...
|
 |
 |
 |
|
...going...
|
...gone.
|
They
were wrong when they said you can never go home again.
