Slavery did not begin with slave ships – Music Video

This is a fantastic video. Great images. Great song. I guess the music is a remix of Nas’ “If I Ruled The World.” The title of the documentary segment is ”It Started With Slave Ships.” I think someone added the music and retitled the piece on YouTube as “Our Slavery did not begin with slave ships.” There is also [...]

Luis Belliard School in Washington Heights

(PS 8 Luis Belliard School – Photos by Joe) I pulled into a gas station across the street from Belliard and took these photos. It looks like a great place to learn, hopefully the kids take advantage of it. Here are my STORIES and PHOTOS

Air – “La Femme D’Argent” (Fantastic video from 1905)

  This is a track from Air’s Moon Safari cd called “La Femme D’Argent.” The city is not my beloved New York, so I can’t mention its name. Though Mark Twain said of it, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in ___ _________.”  Here are my STORIES and PHOTOS

The Price Of Knowing

(Calvary Cemetery – Photo by Joe) We were at a cemetery late one evening last week and Benny, “the cigar store Indian,” had stopped to talk with an old woman whose name was Margaret.

Statue of Liberty from Red Hook

(Photos by Bald Punk) I’ve never been to the Statue of Liberty. I’m embarrassed to admit that. But I’ve seen the thing so many times, basically grew up with it, that I feel I know it inside and out. Maybe it’s a part of me. :-> On another note, BaldPunk.com is coming up on its [...]

Brooklyn Bridge Park

(Photos by Bald Punk) The pictures were taken when I was walking to and from the new park, and are in the order of my footsteps. I hope I didn’t post too many similar shots. My favorite subject is the Brooklyn Bridge. For me, it’s like a stepping off point into the past.   Here are [...]
