Last night, I went with friends on the Pioneer, a 100+ ft schooner out in the New York harbor. The trip as arranged through friends of friends and the South Street Seaport Historical Society.
Nostalgic, to say the least, floating by the Statue of Liberty on ship powered by wind. The Manhattan skyline from the south tip was beautiful and actually made the city look smaller. The Coast Guard made their presence noted with big machine guns on the back of their boats. Late in the evening, The Staten Island ferry patrons felt like they could take some fantastic flash photography of the ship with us on it.
Flash photography sucks. Give it up, people. And I clearly need to get a faster lens for my Canon.
Shout out goes to G & M for the invite, company and Corona’s.
I was just listening to Massive Attack - Teardrop
