Bob- beautiful! Love your work but this is the first color photo of yours I’ve seen. We want more!!
Loved the stickball story (not so much the yuppie you-know-what). Sad that people have become so selfish and uncaring. If I had kids and it were me I’d be out there begging for stickball lessons. I love that they have reunions every year. We should all go next year and play too-
It’s one of the nicest blocks in Bed Stuy. From propertyshark, it’s a 4 storey limestone, 3464 sq. ft, last sold Jan 2007 for $312,000 which is not believable but it was an estate sale. PS doesn’t show any outstanding indebtedness. Taxes are $3,200.
It’s only the minimum opening bid, chicken. Not the actual sale price.
Dave,
My “fine art” photography will always be B&W film, printed in my darkroom. However I bought a DSLR several months ago for my neighborhood documentary work, for the Lefferts Manor Echo, the PLG Arts website, etc.–basically the sort of work where I’d previously have used film, scanned the negatives, but never printed them in the darkroom. I resisted “going digital” for years, but have found that I have no trouble separating these two aspects of my photography. I do enjoy using my Olympus DSLR, but it will supplement, not replace my Rolleiflex.
I’d be interested to see it in black and white too, some very strong lines with brilliant white contrasts
418 Macon Street for $500k is going to hurt comps
What Dave said, Bob. I love this photo!
LOL, I didn’t see that was Bob’s photo. Bob, I thought you only shot in black and white you dog, you!!!
Old and New Collide…..If the stickballers want to come to bed Stuy i think it’d be a great time. Seems that cops here don’t get all upset about stoop drinking….it’d be a great thing to watch with a few beers.
