Black Kites 03.15.09

Black Kites played their record release show last Sunday at an awesome skate park in Pine Brook NJ, called Garden SK8. The graffiti on the walls was phenomenal and it apparently gets changed up every few weeks. Black Kites played an awesome set and I'm looking forward to checking out more shows at Garden SK8!

Binghamton Ferry Boat 03.14.09

This was quite a strange find. The Binghamton Ferry Boat operated between 1905 and 1967 carrying passengers from Hoboken to Manhattan. I'm not sure when it went out of service, but it was registered as a historic landmark in 1982. I'm also not sure when it became a restaurant, but for awhile this was a fully functioning Steakhouse and Sea Food hotspot in Edgewater New Jersey with beautiful views of the New York City Skyline. I couldn't find any information regarding when it was abandoned, but the boat and its extensions are in pretty bad condition. I tried to get in but had no luck. The doors to the boat were padlocked and there were fences hooked up to alarms blocking entry to the deck of the ferryboat. (Probably because of its historic landmark status.) Someone definitely found a way to get up on the boat because there are some signs of vandalism, but I was not about to become a daredevil, so I shot as much as i could without actually getting inside. It was pretty fun to shoot here and according to one of the plaques leading up the boat, the Binghamton is the only double ended steam engine ferry boat still floating on the Hudson River.

Pyramids 03.07.09

Pyramids are a Delaware/Philly band that unfortunately I don't get to see too often, so I was excited when I found out they'd be playing in Brooklyn. These photos are from their set last Saturday at the Charleston in Williamsburg.
