I walked out of my apartment to pick up a friend from the train station, and caught the all-Spanish Good Friday procession as it was passing my street.

The music is coming from the minivan. There’s a boy dressed as Jesus, carrying a cross, and other boys dressed as Romans, periodically whipping him (I wonder if they feel strange about getting that ‘part’?).

I’ve never seen a procession like this before, and I haven’t previously lived anywhere wherein traffic shuts down for a religious parade. And in a non-English language!

Anyway, on a somewhat unrelated note, I’m excited for the Dominican Day Parade in August.

My love for this place is unparalleled.

The Morris-Jumel Mansion was built as a summer residence by British Colonel Roger Morris in 1776. During the fall of 1776 (which was during the Revolutionary War), this house became George Washington’s headquarters.

Later it was home of Eliza Jumel but today it is a National Historic Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in Washington Heights between Jumel Terrace and Edgecombe Ave, the museum is open Wednesday-Sunday. This, like the Dyckman Farm House, is a must-see for all New York City residents. It’s part of our history!

Same Neighborhood...Two Different Lifestyles

New York City has a problem with income inequality. And it’s getting worse—the top of the spectrum is gaining and the bottom is losing. Along individual subway lines, earnings range from poverty to considerable wealth. The interactive infographic here charts these shifts, using data on median household income, from the U.S. Census Bureau, for census tracts with subway stations.

Read more from “A New Yorker’s Interactive”

So I actually sat and clicked through this interactive map and explored the familiar subway lines of my old neighborhood - the findings are pretty fascinating/disheartening. At the 190th Street station on the A-line (Fort Washington neighborhood), the median income is $81,500, but take a look at the same street at the 1 train station on Broadway…the median income is barely $39,000! I guess I always knew that the class divisions in New York were pretty substantial, but to see such a huge income gap on the same street is a little daunting. In my mind, it was always a “downtown vs. uptown” thing in terms of income, but this is a different kind of reality. While folks on one one side of the Heights are living in the lap of luxury near the park, others are struggling to make it. Oh New York, I love you but you make me so sad.

The Hispanic Society of America is a free museum and research library in Audubon Terrace in Washington Heights. It was founded by Archer Milton Huntington (the man who commissioned Audubon Terrace). The museum has the most extensive collection of Hispanic art and literature outside of Spain and Latin America.

The museum offers paintings, decorative arts, archaeology, sculpture, prints and photographs as well as a library of more than 60,000 books and such. I’ll take you inside for a tour but I encourage you to visit yourself (it’s located on Broadway between 155th & 156th Street).

Here’s the two Alexa’s we’ve been shooting with for the past couple of days. We had one Alexa ST with the mirrored shutter and one Alexa Plus 4:3 as we were shooting anamorphic. The big 24-290 was re-housed to be anamorphic and it looked very lovely but lost a stop on the aperture.

Bryan Cranston (via somethingchanged)

Oooh this is good. This, in a nutshell, is probably why M. and I fight approximately 90% less than we did four, three, two years ago. There was a time when we just wanted the other to recognize The One True Truth and how bout you fuck off if you don’t. Not the best way to build a relationship, not the best way to get through life.

But now, we can negotiate. There’s room for that. There’s room for feeling differently about things. There’s even room — maybe — for Two True Truths. Most important, there’s room to recognize we’re still pulling on the same end of the rope, to steal a terrific phrase from Emily.

Mind you, we’re still working on it, but we’re getting there.

(The other reason we don’t fight nearly as much? You just get tired of it. It’s sort of like how there was a time you thought you would never not have sex with him every time you got in bed with him. Hell, every time you got near a flat surface alone with him. And then, over time, you find you can. You don’t think it’ll happen to you, but it will. It happens to every couple. it’s unfortunate and it’s inevitable but the other side of that coin, for us, is we also fight less, and that is good. No — it’s essential.)
