Recent Pictures

Here are a bunch of pictures I've taken recently, many from New York and Boston, where Mrs. Generik and I had the good fortune to visit last month, and a few from right here at home. Given my new penchant for black and white, I've included a set of those as well.

Looking back at the Empire State building from 7th Avenue at about 29th Street.
The John Lennon memorial at Strawberry Field in Central Park.

Lower Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge. Minutes after this picture was taken, we got caught in a sudden thunderstorm, and were soaked trying to walk back to shelter.
Just outside Grand Central Station, where we met our young friend Marisa for lunch.
The iconic Chrysler Building, king of Art Deco architecture.
Dinner at Durgin-Park in Boston.

Fenway Park, one of the finest old stadiums still in operation.
Who's on first? What's his name? I don't know!
Bleedin' Jebus! I saw this shirt at the Pride Parade in SF. Remember -- when you take communion, this is what you're drinking.
Baseballs on display at the Fan Fest at Moscone Center that went on during All-Star week.
Artist Michael Schwab designed the logo and a number of accompanying illustrations for the 2007 All-Star Game at AT&T Park in SF.
Every seat in the park got one of these cushions with zippered pouch for the game.
Before the game started, the Counting Crows performed a brief set. In the middle of their second song, the band was set on fire, and then they 'sploded real good.
Fortunately, a local fireboat came to the rescue.
