NEW YORK, NEW YORK – 12 11 Park Avenue.  Limited time spent shooting today – most of my day was spent diagnosing and fixing the causes of this blog’s crash.  I think I have it sorted out, but the fix breaks the link to the photo in every post (there are now more than 180 of them) so I have to repair every link manually.  I’musing this as an opportunity to apply what I’ve learned in the past six months on indexing and key words, so the process is time consuming.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – The Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services held it’s annual spring gala at Gustavinos tonight. The JBFCS is a wildly impressive organization providing social services in New York to clients of all religions, races and ethnic backgrounds.  Gustavinos is a lovely space built into the vaults under the approaches to the 59th Street Bridge.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Congregation Shaaray Tefila (Hebrew for Gates of Prayer) at Second Avenue and 79th Street.   The current sanctuary of this congregation, which was organized in 1859, was dedicated in 1959.  It was converted from a Trans-Lux movie theater.  I’ve taken the liberty of posting the image twice – once in color and once in gray scale.
