philly by bicycle

a couple of weeks ago, some friends and i rode bicycles to philadelphia over a long weekend.  all in all the trip took two days of riding six hours a day at a fairly leisurely pace – i had certainly intended to take a few more pictures, i even brought along the big camera but somehow in the end it was just easier to shoot stuff with the phone.  alas.  also, though now that i know that the chinatown bus to philadelphia is $20 round trip for a 90 minute ride – i suspect that more trips to philadelphia might be in order as there are a number of things i’d still like to see such as the mutter museum and the eastern state penitentiary.

here we are at the ferry dock in manhattan waiting for the boat to take us over to atlantic highlands new jersey.   i def packed way too much stuff, i did use most of it but in retrospect i could have gotten away with a lot less as biking with weight on the back of the bike def changed the game going up and down hills.

1:30pm – somewhere in jersey.  gps was incredibly helpful, trying to do this trip with a regular map would have been a disaster.

best of / year end / my favorites -> pt1

it’s been a heck of year – lot’s of highlights including getting engaged, teaching classes at nyu, trips to berlin, maine (x2) and california, canada (x2)  showing work at the queens museum of art and art basel,  getting published in a a couple of books, a bunch of magazines and the new york times (x2).  these photos are from some of my favorite moments and include shots from the 2nd half of the year.  part 2 (aka the first half of 2009) coming soon.  many many thanks to everyone who helped me,  inspired me and pushed me to be better throughout 2009.  i am fully expecting 2010 to be an epic year!

the smith & 9th street elevated subway station is falling into total disrepair – it was supposed to close for renovations but it seems as if that has been pushed back another year as budget deficits increase.   here’s a few more shots of the crumbly, stalagmite infested station.  also – i wish i had seen it when it was painted red or blue!
