I Dream Awake

I used to play here with my father when I was tiny. Glad to see it still standing.

Most of the rest of the playgrounds around the city have been torn up and redesigned a few times over since then. Some of the new ones are great and work for kids of all ages. But these old splinter-givers have mostly been replaced by boring, too-safe-for-fun, plastic. I hope this old thing keeps giving kids a place to have just the right balance between fun and learning how to take care of themselves for a long time to come.

Since I’ve been a visual food addict all of my life, this is something I’m going to be doing a lot of. Every single mouthwateringly delicious bit of food photography I come across will find it’s way here, and fast.

To start it off, I found this in the Eater Food Pool (which I should probably join, along with Curbed, Gothamist and New York City Photobloggers):

I’ve passed by Dinosaur BBQ on my way to Fairway Uptown more times than I remember. If this shot of the food there is at all an indicative sample, it might start to be me passing by Fairway Uptown on the way to Dinosaur from now on.

Ok, now the Flickr pics in the sidebar are stalling the load of the site randomly. I have to head out for a while, but when I get back I’ll try to get that fixed also.
