The photography of Jennifer Lynne Brothers is one of the main reasons I persist with this site. Two weeks ago, I acted as her chauffeur in order to explore the town and take photos for the Urban Photo Safari. Here are a few of the shots.

We went to the State Street Bank to find the entrance to the old Subway tunnel, but it's blocked off now. This is from the upper levels of the garage overlooking the SoHo lofts
Never et here before. It's on 35th & Prospect.
From an old plane hangar in an industrial park along 31st St. Looks like they are throwing this wingless wonder out with the garbage. 
We drove by this place because there were giant decorative umbrellas outside that looked like mythical Marioland toadstools. What we found was a rundown building with a man peering at us warily from the doorway. A couple of gentlemen walked up and the man told them they were closed. (Closed for what?) A couple of ladies came out and sat on the porch. It didn't look like they had any teeth. I think they thought we were narcs, but all we were trying to do was have a photo safari. Silly narcississies. 
Jennifer has more photos on her site, and the rest of her entry to this contest can be seen on the photo safari contestant page. There were quite a few good shots taken at the event, and all in all it's an interesting way to get an idea of how rundown but colorful the town can be. Also, here are three neat shots from last winter that Jenn took of the artspace near my apartment and the building where I work.
