70 Pine Street—a former office building now being converted to rentals—was one of the best places I toured this year.
Started a separate tumblr for my photography - follow me over there if you’re interested!

Journeying into the lower levels of the New Milford plant of the Hackensack Water Works sometimes feels like acting out an Indiana Jones flick. Everything seen in this photo - of a staircase leading down into one of the underlayers - is completely underwater after a day or two of rain. On the other hand, during a dry spell, one can get even one level lower than what is pictured. At the bottom of the stairs is a maze of rooms and tunnels, some flooded, some not, weather depending. There are mysterious stairs leading down into pools of murky water, and lockers containing waterlogged workers’ boots and gloves. All and all, it’s a fun place to photograph - and to just wander about.

Looking up in Midtown East, Manhattan.
Hopefully, no one will mind, but I wanted to post two pictures in black and white tonight. They seem to lend themselves more to being seen that way than in color. I’m going to do that every so often when the time is right.

A few photos from a smelly and crazy trip to Hartford’s Park River, also known as the Hog River. The river ran through Hartford for hundreds of years, linking up with the much larger Connecticut River at its northern mouth. But by the late 19th century, factories and farms along its banks were dumping waste and chemicals into the river.
After major floods in 1936 and 1938, the city of Hartford decided to bring in the Army Corps of Engineers to re-route and bury the river. They constructed a 45-foot-wide tunnel and developed a new park—Bushnell Park—on top of it. The city commissioned additional sections in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘80s, and finally wrapped up the $100 million project in 1981. Overall, close to four miles of river are buried, plus a two-mile-long auxiliary tunnel.
The history of the river is well-documented, and I got my info from the Bushnell Park Foundation, Damned Connecticut, the Hog River Journal, and this excellent post by Matthew Petroff.
