I have on occasion been on the road and thought I’d share some photos of what I saw along the way. Photos by me, though on rare occasions I might accidentally post one taken by a family member but that got on my phone. #Photography

1/2 The closing credits of NBC 4 New York's News Hour - circa 1990. Every Friday night, the credits were a lot longer, which they would scroll over an amazing montage of NYC. This is a poor transfer of an old tape, best viewed small. The image improves after the credit scroll. #UrbanGaze #NYC
