Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
As I headed North for my appointment I noticed that there were plenty of people on the streets (all wearing masks), but that the small parks that are scattered around Manhattan were all closed.

I knew that I would be early for my appointment so since it was a hot day I decided to stop for something to drink. My chosen venue was The Perfect Pint on 45th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues (a couple of blocks from where I used to work). I chose to sit outside where I could watch the world go by.

A couple of views of Lexington Ave just after I stepped out of Grand Central Terminal: Above looking South; Below looking North. Bear in mind that I took these pictures around 2:00pm on a Friday afternoon. Pre Covid there would have been many more people. As it was it felt more like Sunday’s used to feel.

Every Saturday evening during Summer the town of Peekskill, NY closes a section of North Division Street and presents a band of some kind. This part of Division Street has a number of restaurants, which put tables and chairs outside so that you can eat while listening to the music. The whole thing has a very European feel to it.
On this particular evening (June 15, 2019) the featured band was “Fat City Rockers:
… a Band performing Rock (50’s-60’s), Instrumental, and Swing/Jump, Big Band music. We are a high energy three-piece group called “The Fat City Rockers” from Northern Westchester County, NY. We are rocking and swinging from Philly to Boston!!! Everything from pubs, restaurants, car shows, breweries, radio stations, county fairs, public and private events.
We are different!!! Performing: The Stray Cats, Dion, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, The Ventures, The Shadows, Danny Gatton, Eddie Cochrane, Dick Dale, Robert Gordon, Bill Halley, Tom Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis and much, much, more.
We appeal to a wide age groups & have a solid following. We try to play material that the older generations have not heard in years, as well and super important, turning on younger age groups. The feedback has been nothing less than amazing!!! (Hudson Valley Music).
I must admit that they were pretty good.
As I recall we ate at “The Quiet Man“, an Irish Pub.
