We spent a weekend in "New York
City?" after a show week and stayed in Midtown. After drowning in the
rain on Friday night, Saturday threatened rain but it never materialized. We
slept until 11am and went for a long walk down 5th Avenue. There are several
themes from this weekend, among them, yellow.

Pictures
from New York City
The Smith Family Reunion was hanging around the Hot Tix booth in
Times Square. After watching them try and take pictures, I offered to do
a group shot.
You know the Smith's have been in New York too long because the girl
on the right asked me, "How Much?" when I told her I'd take
the photo.
I fell in love with yellow telephones. I found four of them at the
corner of 7th and 34th.
This was the seminal yellow phone. Actually, it was the one next to
this one but the image came out blurry.
I like the hand holding.
Two yellow bags at one street corner. Who could calculate the odds?
This is called Great Sax.
This is at 38th and 8th. Again, yellow.
Not Hot.
This idiot turned the wrong way on 8th Avenue and had to turn around
in the cross walk.
Now you know the idiot. They should take his license away until he's
twelve, dontchathink?
Around every corner is a crisis. I like firetrucks.
The pole and nothing but the pole.
Red always excites me.
Next to Import is the Time Moving and Storage job.
How can you walk around all day in these shoes and still walk?
Sunset from our room. DJ is in the reflection.
A DKNY sunset.
Sunset on 41st Street.
DJ with humorous shirts.
5th
Avenue at 35th Street
DJ stopped to buy shoes and I thought
it would be a few minute stop just as the previous ones were. I was
wrong. After ten minutes, I started to look around the area and shoot
photos from my vantage point just off the corner of 5th Ave and 35th
Street. It was
interesting to be in one space for a half hour and just look around. I
found some interesting sights.
Lots of yellow here.
I guess that the full service doesn't include skin care and massage
anymore.
"Hey Taxi!"
These guys were having a conversation in some Croation
dialect.
The kid watches them. I got the kid by himself, below.
The Happy Time was out of stock and the owner and his wife carried
stuff from the curb.
It isn't as happy at the Happy Time as it used to be when they sold
beer.
What caught my attention was the two little supports holding the air
conditioner in the window.
The kid.
Do you think she is a koket? Or do you think she is part of what's
got to go?
Me taking pictures. I'm bored. Sure wish that Diana will wrap it up.
