8th Avenue Façades

A lot of Park Slope streets have a very warm neighborhood feel to them.  I love this set of houses on 8th Avenue.

Old Stone House

Located in Washintong Park, the small park on 5th Ave between 3rd & 4th St.  It's a museum and art community center.  Photo taken in the Spring of 2011.  www.theoldstonehouse.org

Stone work

This stone carving is located on the front of a building on Union between 4th and 5th Aves.  I enjoy walking past it because the color and intricate detail remind me of a Shepard Fairey mural.

Wet paint

This is on the side of one of Park Slope's old skool retail stores.  Corner of 5th Ave and 8th St.

Joe's Pizza of the Village

The owner of this place was apparently a pizza maker at the famous Joe's Pizza on Carmine & Bleeker in the city.  This place closes really late so it's one of few options for late night munchies on 5th Ave (bet 11th & 12th St).  I love their pizza!

I'm always looking for an excuse to use my cameras more often.  Let's boost your OKC profile with some new portraits.  Or how about dressing up your office walls with pictures of the neighborhood.  Did you just get some jazzy wheels for your fixie?  You need pics!  Email me, and we'll set up a photo sesh.

Oh and P.S.  I never charge.

Bingo.

5th Avenue Bingo near 8th St.  Will we all end up hanging out there if we live around here long enough?

San Pellegrino

When the sunlight is just so, Bar Toto's fleet of table umbrellas radiate the most beautiful shade of blue that pops out at you.  It always makes me want to sit and grab a Pellegrino. 

Coal

Coal loves playing with his ball and loves getting his picture taken.
