WalknTalk

Sometimes the best strategy in street photography is to sit somewhere and wait for people to come past you. I hope you enjoy.

“My Fellow Americans”

Homeless

Here I go again getting up on a soap box and preaching, but when it comes to homeless people I just can’t help myself. In a country as wealthy as ours there is no excuse to even have one homeless person. We have wars on terrorism, wars on drugs, wars on super sized soft drinks, wars on everything except for those who are vulnerable and living on the street. On this particular day in Manhattan I was bundled up and freezing, it was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit and windy so I could imagine how cold he was. The first words out of any politician when running for office and making a speech is “My Fellow Americans”. Why are we getting immune to helping “Our Fellow Americans” ?

Every September in Little Italy, Manhattan the San Gennaro Feast takes place. This year the 87th annual feast takes place September 12th to the 22nd. My wife and I made the trip this year as in past years and the food was spectacular. All of the photos in this post were taken on Mulberry Street because we ate way too much and couldn’t walk any further.

We had dinner at a restaurant called Amici II which is pictured below (looked like a place straight out of the movie Goodfellas).

Of course there were the usual street vendors and restaurants that set up outdoor dining and cooking facilities so the smells will overload your senses as you walk down the street.
