Yesterday, I walked down to the waterfront to take some pictures and check things out. When I got there, I found I was more intrigued with the people than I was with what actually took place earlier in the day.
(Captions are above each picture. Click the thumbnail to enlarge each image.)
A guy from the Mayor’s office.
The fire department. I was told it was a 9 alarm fire, which means nine different firehouses supplied ALL of their men. By the time I got there, the Disaster team from The American Red Cross was handing out food. I am always amazed by the kindness of others during times like this. While I realize it’s their job and everything, they did so with a smile on their face and they did so armed with kind words. I can barely say that of me and my corporate life.
A little boy watches me watch him not watch the actual fire.
What’s left of the building. I was told that it fell around noon.
The guy from above being cheered up by a dog. Dogs know stuff about things. :]
Some photo bloggers. There were many people down there with their cameras, me being one of them. I was stopped by a few people because they wanted to talk about my camera. I guess the D200 is still very hard to find. Who knew?
Another shot of the building.
New York City’s Finest. (Again with the smiles…)
I tried to capture the diversity one discovers in Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
There is a really large Hasidic poplution starting at Broadway and continuing on down along the waterfront and along the South numbered streets.
Greenpoint’s Polish children.
This is George. I met George while I was snapping pictures. George is a painter.
The next three are of our view of the sunset once we got home.
As usual, if you would like to see more, you may do so by clicking here. (Takes you to Flickr.)
