Celebration at the Fontana di trevi

Tuesday, July 11, 2006 by eric yang

Evidently, the Italians were quite happy with their win. I'm just a fan of the photo in general as I stood there just a couple of years ago admiring the Trevi Fountains... well minus thousands of intoxicated and frustratingly attractive Italians swarming it.

Parking?! Pah, that's so 2006.

A Picture... David Letterman and Larry King

by eric yang

I climbed, I walked... then I took a picture. This is what I saw:

By the way, I thought I'd share the random fact that I was on the elevator with David Letterman when I left work today... unexpected but interesting. Then as I was taking the photos of the building that exploded in NYC today I ran right into Larry King. Two prominent television figures who couldn't be further from the opposite of one another. I must say that Larry King was looking quite dapper, very unexpected. I actually said hi and shook his hand. No joke.

Where a building once stood

Where a building once stood
Originally uploaded by midweekpost.
Today, a building in Manhattan's Upper East Side collapsed due to a gas explosion. It was a tragic event that seems to have arisen due to even more tragic events, an attempted suicide. These are photos taken of the event post facto. The scene was roped off from public viewing but I managed to take a few shots by passing through unobtrusively. Building explosion/collapse was on 62nd street between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue.

I heard the explosion 11 blocks away...

[update] The events surrounding the event are getting shadier by the New York minute...

Lotus. (the club, not the position)

Sunday, July 09, 2006 by eric yang

No, I wasn't meditating (or whatever your mind might have you think) but rather at a club, begrudgingly so actually.

It's funny how things work out though. I might not have really cared all that much for the late night rondezvous but how can one really complain when it's done up with a complete absence of line waiting (complete with awkward silences and fake phone chatter), obnoxiously expensive G&T's, and table service. I'll do that for a cab fare.

The club wasn't half bad either.

About

Midweekpost.com is a take on New York City thru the eyes (and camera) of an OCD, ADD, Scorpio written in the timeless, Thoreau inspired, form of blogging. Or as we like to refer to it: ADD writing for ADD reading. It's authored by a most contradictive guy armed with a most applicable Univ. of Tennessee economics degree working in the media industry as a producer (you're damn right that's cliche') of design (huh?) for a major broadcast company's digital initiative (say wha?) that has somehow managed to find his Korean, yet not Korean looking self living in the city that Ambien & Cosmo induced coma never sleeps. All that said, I don't promise greatness and I won't promise awesome but I will promise New York and a little dash o' me.
