Gardens-Brooklyn

this is my last night in Williamsburg (Brooklyn)...

Tomorrow I'll go back to Amsterdam, I had a good time in New York,I really like this city..............I'm staying only 4 days in Holland, than I'll go to Syracuse, because I got a stipend to work there for one month.

Bedford Av-Bushwick Av-Broadway Junction-Hoyt Schermerhorn-Nassau Av

This is Bedford Av. Subway Sation
Today I went to the Evergreen Cemetery.....and I did not know that I was not allowed to take pictures there, but they did not say I can not show it on my blog...Than I got lost, at the same moment I saw a man who seemed to be deaf and I was asking him the way to the Broadway Junction Subway Station, I was following him.

Rainy days in Brooklyn, and Yee Ling is still here..

It's raining, it's pouring......for days. Now I'm staying in my worklodge,nice view heh? My 'window view' looks like a painting.

I tried to get lost in Brooklyn..

The Bedford Av Subway Station was closed today, so I walked to Nassau Av.Subway Station...I tried to get lost, so I went to Long Island City, it was soooo quiet there on this Saturday morning, I saw only cars and big buildings...but no people???? Than I went to the south..Myrtle Willoughby Avs. and took some pictures.(pics will follow) Back to the Bedford Av I had some sushi and bought 'The Return of Dr. Octagon'.

Brighton Beach-Coney Island

Today we (with Patricia and Euginia) went to the Brighton Beach for swimming,and than we walked to the Coney Island...

Yesterday I went to Galapagos again, "MindSpray" was there!!!!!

near the east river

We were walking here in the night,the police warned us not to stay here because of some robberies in the last few nights.Vandaag is een donkere dag ook al schijnt de zon...want,vanmorgen merkte ik dat Vasan de kunstenaar die in het atelier tegenover me verbleef al weg was.Ik dacht dat hij later zouvertrekken...Gisteren waren veel mensen in zijn atelier.Dezelfde nacht hoorde hij dat zijn zoon was overleden...hij had niet afscheid van hem kunnen nemen...

from 66"NorthSix" to Water Pollution Control Plant....passing the "tuinkabouters op vensterbank"

Today I cycled to "Newton Creek Water Pollution Control Plant.."don't ask me why.Because it sounds cool,..I know it was not really interesting, but on the way to this space I can use my imagination and I saw a window-sill with"decoration".......Yesterday night I went to NorthSix (66North 6th Street) in Brooklyn,Jana Hunter was playing...nice music. And than I went to Galapagos again, for the 4th time.That's all the news for today.

kidnapped...on 11th of August

11th of August..we were walking near the waterfront on the North Side.That is near my worklodge....

Inspired by the scene, I found some mysterious settings....

3 dollar picture...

Yesterday I went to Baboo Color Labs at W20th Street,..but I wish I could print my own pictures here...
On the way back to the subway, I bought this picture for 3dollar,
I like this picture very much..Gisteren avond ging ik met P,een kunstenares van Point B op zoek naar een leuke kroeg,maar het was nog redelijk rustig voor een vrijdagavond. Toen gingen we op een bankje zitten voor een cafe. Ik zag ineens een grote klassieke brandweerwagen voor mijn neus geparkeerd, er kwamen ongeveer 6 mannen naar buiten die wat drinken gingen halen.Op dat moment hoorde ik luid getrommel in de straat, Nation Beat was op straat aanhet spelen, al snel was de hele straat vol met mensen, en we gingen ze volgen tot aan Galapagos,waar ze nog een optreden hadden.

Today I met the other artists at Point B,...was a nice meeting.It was on the roof of PointB.
Than I went to a party at 11pm, it was also on the roof!!!!--- Broome Street in Chinatown...Daria invited me to the party,I have not seen her for about 8 years.

I found something...near the East River

I did not notice any "no photography" signs,they told me that I was not allowed to be there....

temperature still rising in New York

it's hot hot hot in NYC, but I like it!!! It reminds me to 1984, I was in Hong Kong and it was also hot hot hot..

The Dog Days of Summer,
In ancient times,when the night sky was unobscured by artificial lights and smog,different groups of peoples in different parts of the world drew images in the sky by 'connecting the dots' of stars. The images drawn were dependent upon the culture:The Chinese saw different images than the Native Americans,who saw different pictures than the Europeans.these star pictures are now called constellations,and constellations that are now mapped out in the sky come from our European ancestors.They saw images of bears,twins,a bull and others,including dogs..........I got this nice message at my worklogde Point B(Arfus)...
I wonder, me as an European Chinese in America, what do I see????
