I don’t remember ever seeing so many lights at the Village View housing complex.

Not only were the walks decorated many of the apartments had lights on their balconies.

I took my camera on the streets of my neighborhood on the evening of 12/12/12. Nothing in particular was happening so it needed something to tie the footage together. I improvised the guitar music over a track created in Otomata, an online program that creates music similar to the way cellular automata like the Game of Life creates movement. The audio is a bit over-modulated, but what the hell, I got it done before midnight. I’ll do better next time.

The girl in red asked me what I was doing and could I take her picture. I told her I was shooting time exposures and yes, if she could stay absolutely still for 3 seconds.

The rain was not as refreshing as I’d hoped. East Houston Street.

My neighbors put on a spectacular show this evening. I haven’t seen a such a large fireworks display in the neighborhood in maybe 20 years.

As usual the Macy’s Hudson River show was barely visible from my East Village roof. This shot is from the finale and is as grand as it got.

The super full moon actually lived up to the hype. It looked huge rising over the East Village tonight.

Jupiter is coming nearer to earth than it has been in 50 years. Here’s a couple of photos I was able to shoot hand held from the streets of the East Village. I’m fairly sure I got Jupiter in focus, but just that it shows up as a disc amazes me. Both were shot at the same focal length, so I’m sure some astronomically literate someone out there can tell.

Manhattan empties out on the Labor Day weekend. A walk through my neighborhood with the dullest bits excised.
