This week, I’ve got a thing: panorama photos. The camera, a Sony NEX, does the work, and the distortions, too. To see the full picture, click on the Bad Foto on Flickr to the left of the screen.

Powerhouse Books is Dumbo’s bookstore and an exhibition and performance space as well. It’s the kind of place you might walk into thinking about one kind of book and walk out with another in your hand. Willem Dafoe was on April’s card announcing store events.
This is where the camera bugged out

Or maybe something happened during the upload? All of the elements take on extra significance in this arty accident: the woman who is probably heading to a wedding, the crooked police and fire call box, the call-a-car, and even the color red.
Hey, tough guy

Get off the F train at York Street, the last stop in Brooklyn, and walk downhill toward the water, and you’ll pass this Mexican restaurant. I think it’s the only one in Dumbo, which would make it both the best and the worst. But if you’d asked my opinion after I’d just eaten there, I would have said, Not the best, not the worst. To avoid this confusion, just eat somewhere else.
Biking on cobblestones

Uneven pavement is not a biker’s favorite surface… but the views! That’s the pay-off. To the right is Brooklyn Bridge Park and more fabulous scenery and views of Manhattan.
Cobblestones, DUMBO

Drivers hate them, as do people wearing heels, but those in need of some ye-olde can come to DUMBO and walk all over the cobblestones.
It looked bigger in person

New York has been on a heightened state of alert. A patrol boat like this, from the NYC Fire Department, is not an unusual site, though in the vast river, with Manhattan in the background, it looks so tiny.

Wedding pictures in Dumbo

Looks like picture day. The wedding will be another weekend – today is just the bridge and groom. What’s interesting is that they’ve chosen the Manhattan Bridge rather than the more popular Brooklyn Bridge as backdrop. Standing on the big rocks is a little treacherous, but it’s all about the results, getting great pictures.
