The Ghostbusters Firehouse Dressed For Christmas
This isn’t a secret or anything, but Hook & Ladder #8 has been dressed for the season and looks great, especially in the snow storm that hit today (click the picture and look at the biggest size on Flickr for the full effect). You probably recognize this iconic Manhattan firehouse from a number of films…
Tragedy on Broadway

Interesting concept! Thanks for sharing!
Heh. Doesn’t feel hipster at all; more like an early Yoko Ono conceptual piece.
This is great. Thanks for sharing. I’d like to use this in an architecture lecture and would like to credit the artist. What does that say at the bottom of the image “Living ______” ?
“Living Exercises”
Interesting! What a great way to make friends.
Nice thought.
I love this too. I posted a picture of this on my twitter a few months ago. I post a lot of random pictures from Brooklyn and Manhattan like this from my blackberry as I walk the streets. Feel free to follow me @evatography.
I also have professional photography work that can be viewed here
