NYC FAP Photos, but NO ILXers (picture thread)

I took a lot of photos when I was in NYC for the FAP. Lots of them were of ILXers. Lots of them weren't. Here's some of the choice bits of the non-ILX people pictures

Some of these are up on my blog already.

The discovery of the JC Chasez action figure at an ILX trawl through the Surf Ave junk stores felt very apropos for some reason.

Building detail in Brighton Beach. Between the architectural details and the omnipresent Russian food, I could spend several days there.

The Queen's Museum Of Art has an utterly amazing scale model of NYC (complete with scale buildings) that was originally built for the '64 Worlds Fair. Hard to photograph and really get a handle on just how huge this thing is. There's a person on the opposite walkway - gives you some idea.

yes, nice photos, I liked the fireworks ones best!

so Brighton Beach, isn't a beach?

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 20 July 2003 15:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I like the fireworks ones too (well, I like them all), they all sorta look like giant airborne luminescent jellyfish.

My fave view of the fireworks (which didn't photograph well at all) was in the reflection off of the mirror windows of the office buildings next to the Seaport.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Sunday, 20 July 2003 15:05 (twenty-three years ago)

it's both a beach and a neighborhood!

Gawd, I want to go back to Brighton Beach just to check out the food.

I heart Russian food.

Best thread ever, etc.

The last time I saw Brighton Beach I was roughly the same age as the last time I saw Brighton, so they're jumbled together in memory.

They are pretty, Chris.

I have a lot of nonpeople shots from the past several weeks, some of them came out nicely but not as nice as the Chinatown picture.
