Alfred Emanuel Smith, Jr. (December 30, 1873 – October 4, 1944), known in private and public life as Al Smith, was an American politician who was elected the 42nd Governor of New York four times, and was the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate in 1928. He was the first Roman Catholic to run for President as a major party nominee. He lost the election to Herbert Hoover. He then became president of the Empire State, Inc. and was instrumental in getting the Empire State Building built at the onset of the Great Depression.

Strapped in for the safety of those below, I guess. I’ll get the name of the building the next time I’m nearby. The humongous Beekman Tower is in the background.
Something about the sculptural details of this building remind me of the Chrysler Building.

The gold statue on top of the Municipal Building in downtown Manhatann. I shot it hand-held using my new Lumix FZ35. It is a 12 megapixel model with an 18x optical zoom. I’m very happy with the camera so far. It also has the ability to shoot video in HD and has a good low light ability.

Sculpture from the trash pile. My pal and former bandmate, Marianna Foxx has a piece in this. GALLERY 151 is an amazingly tranquil spot on noisy old Bowery, something to be experienced.

East Second Street. This unusual kiddie ride has been chained to the tree-protective fence here for at least the past couple of weeks. It seems to be gathering graffiti.
