Every weekend there would be excessive noise coming from the courtyard at back of our apartment. This weekend I decided to capture what was going on.

day 38: east village street
A common street scene in East Village.
Today I met Frankie. Frankie has a custom bike that he spent 8 months creating. He tells me he parades it all round the neigbourhood because it’s his pride and joy. It’s fully equipped with a car stereo blasting Latino music, a police siren to warn people to get out of his way (or to let them know he’s coming) and a cooler to chill those popsicles. Pretty pimp I say.

day 19: the key lady
I came across this lady on the street in East Village. I thought she was a bit of nutter but she assures me she’s not. She tells me she looks after all the buildings in the neigbourhood. Never assume anything in NYC!
