I posted my favorite picture of this woman taking shelter on December 31st. These are out-takes. The shifting background is a digital advertising display.

Regular kid

January 7, 2020

This is a great place to get coffee, bagels, and the occasional pastry. In the summer, we come often on weekend mornings. Usually, I go inside and order, and my wife pushes the twins around the block in the double stroller. We don’t go very often in the winter, because we like to sit outside. I’m looking forward to the days when a double stroller isn’t necessary, and we can all sit inside..

Have you lost your head?

January 2, 2020

Maybe your head is on 40th Street near 5th Avenue. This hat vendor noticed me taking photos of the backs of her heads, and thoughtfully turned them around, so I could capture the faces. She was very friendly.
