Ron Lundy, Harry Harrison Cousin Brucie- these were the most influential voices of my childhood. These men were the DJ’s of my era.

My fondest memories were those sunny days when mom said, “Pack up a pail and shovel, we’re goin’ to the beach. And don’t forget the transistor radio!”

The Sounds of Motown filled the salty air of the Rockaways. And the Beatles, Beach Boys, and all of those fabulous hits we now call classic oldies flew over the radio waves and floated above the surf. I can still hear the roar of the rollercoaster of Rockaway Playland.

Maybe I’m just getting old but they don’t make ’em like that anymore. – Fading Ad Campaign 1999

This is the unaltered shot. I took some liberties the other day and I’m glad to have done so.

VOTE! Early Election Turn-out in Flatbush Produces Long Lines & Hope

After arriving at my polling place at 6:15AM on P.S. 269 on Nostrand & Newkirk Avenues, I realized I should have set my alarm clock for an earlier time (and should NOT have played the snooze button twice) because the line stretched around the block all the way past New York Avenue. Talk was hopeful on the line but my hopes were dashed as I got to my election district’s line since the machine was inoperable and I had to fill out a paper ballot. Something about pulling the handle across, clicking the keys and pulling the handle back again that is so aurally and physically satisfying. Didn’t need to videotape this so I photographed it.
