Well, I realize I haven’t updated this blog or the website in awhile, but I’ve spent most of my time at home in New York City gathering more photo essays so when I return to Colorado in a week I can begin in earnest on finally finishing the photo essays of this website in the NYC Subway Section (now that would be a huge accomplishment!, one seven years in the making). Anyway, I thought I would recap on my adventures (and how well I’ve used my Fortnight Unlimited Ride MetroCard)
Thursday: I swiped in 7 times total as I did photo essays of 47-50 Street/Rockefeller Center, 57 Street & 6 Avenue, 5 Avenue-53 Street and the 51 Street/Lexington Avenue Superstation.
Friday: This day I swiped in 6 times doing the usual, more photo essays: some at 59 Street-Columbus Circle (the stations still in such an under construction disarray that I’ll save a true photo essay and summery for when its actually complete), the entire 59 Street & Lexington Avenue Super Complex, which is relatively simple once you fully investigate it, 57 Street-7 Avenue, and 49 Street-7 Avenue. I also took a couple of new photos of 157 Street/Broadway as I was there during my travels.
Over the weekend I was extremely busy doing activities unrelated to the website, I ended up riding the subway only twice on Saturday, and never on Sunday
Monday: 11 swipes, as I got on the subway for the first time at 163 Street-Amsterdam Avenue, and did a photo essay of 14 Street/8 Avenue, Spring Street/6 Avenue (C,E), Canal Street (C,E), and West 4th Street. After that I took the F train to Roosevelt Island, did a photo essay there, would have taken the Roosevelt Island Tram back, but its closed for repairs, so I took the Q102 bus across the Roosevelt Island Bridge and walked over to 36 Avenue on the N Astoria Line. Did a photo essay there before my camera decided to die, so I took the train up to Astoria Blvd, and the M60 over the Triborough (whoops RFK) Bridge and to 125 St & Lenox, where I sat in Starbucks and read for awhile letting my camera charge before finally doing a proper photo essay of 135 Street & Lenox, and then running some errands which contributed to even more swipes on my Unlimited Ride Card.
