NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio drops Staten Island Chuck during the yearly Groundhog’s Day celebration. Chuck died 7 days later, the Staten Island Zoo covering up his death until September.(2014)

Weird is when @bradhoylman references "Dark Shadows" and, an hour later, you run into a recurring character from the show in a diner four blocks away.

From NYPD to OEM to DOB, he was still the same tireless public servant. As the neatly trimmed mustache and dress uniform gave way to the scruffy goatee and leather jacket, and the title changed to "Commissioner," to those who knew, he was still, and will always be "Chief Espo."

I got a "hey, how are ya?" from him.

As vernacular evolves, the importance of punctuation and capitalization remains. There's a difference between "it's giving Tuesday" and "it's Giving Tuesday."

Wednesday night's third alarm in Woodside, Queens. @FDNY

Three-alarm fire at 182 Hester St., Little Italy, Sunday night. FDNY is back there this morning, where hot-spots have rekindled.

@Robdekoter The plates are Zebra Standard Dry Plates from Slovenia, I developed them in HC-110, Dilution B.

@MHermannPhoto Interesting, did you use ready made glass plates or did you prepare the emulsion yourself ? Who did the processing?

Two photos I took over the weekend at the WWI event in Newville, Pennsylvania, using a 1918 Tele-Graflex and glass dry plates, as used by U.S. Army Signal Corps photographers.

More fake history magic. This is superb. Taken at a living history event... or maybe my old history pal Mr. Hermann is just another time traveller...

Good morning, @GrandCentralNYC!

Recycling, East New York.

A walk through Lower Manhattan, 9/11/23.

Wednesday morning at @GrandCentralNYC.

I feel like I spend an awful lot of time photographing "won't happen again for 73 1/3 years" lunar events. Super Blue Moon over Brooklyn, though.

Just before 3 AM, a water main break in Times Square sent approximately 1.8 million gallons of water rushing into the subway, causing major disruptions on the 1/2/3 lines. Our crews quickly sprang into action, pumping water out of the system & inspecting infrastructure so we could restore service as soon as safely possible. We're deeply grateful to our teams for their rapid response, and our riders for your patience during the difficult morning commute. 1/2/3 trains have resumed making regular stops, and we expect to have trains back on schedule by the evening rush hour.

It is with deep regret the UFA announces the WTC related death of retired FF Albert A. Filosa of L146. FF Filosa served our great Department for 20 Years. Visitation: Thursday August 31, 2023 4:00pm - 8:00pm Aievoli Funeral Home 1275 65th St, Brooklyn, NY 11219
