Dominican Day Parade


DR-DAY, originally uploaded by veesvision.
So today was the Dominican day parade. I may have missed that tweet but I couldn't ignore the music. My curiosity got the better of me - I followed the sounds. Once I reached the source, on the corner of 45th and 6th ave, I readied my iphone. Everyone was having a great time dancing, drinking and wearing the flag. It was a stoop party.

56th street and 6th ave

There was a "TV is bad for the brain" thing up for a while. It's too bad I missed the window on shooting that. The good news is, this one is full of color and graphics. I had a lot of fun pushing colors in post production.

What you see in Sunset Park, Brooklyn: RESURRECTION CHURCH

Where in the heck world is that ? !

I know, I know. It looks so out of place against the 99 cent stores and ice cream carts but this is a real building with a real yard and real grass. Wanna see? Take a walk around 41st between 7th and 8th avenues.
