The Big Bang…On A Can
by Kinan Faham on Jun.29, 2010, under Music, photography
Bang On A Can Marathon took place in The World Financial Center this year with music flowing non-stop for more than 12 hours defying all borders between genres and really making it hard for music lovers to take a break. Every time a new group emerged on the stage, we got swept away and taken by their ingenuity and brilliance.
The photos show the following performers in the event. I only stayed for 10 hours and took a few walks to stretch my legs!
Slagwerk Den Haag
JACK Quartet
Talea Ensemble
Moritz Eggert
Vernon Reid, Mazz Swift, and Leon Gruenbaum
Mira Calix
Tim Brady
And of course:Bang on a Can All-Stars
Can’t wait for the next Big Bang…On A Can!
East Side Story: Roosevelt Island
by Kinan Faham on Mar.04, 2010, under Travel, photography
This was a walk around Roosevelt Island on February 27th. We were supposed to go there as a photography group but the Big Apple got hit with a snow storm and the organizer postponed the outing. The walk started on 59th street riding the tram, ascending to the tramway and landing in the island. I then took West Road south and then north. Sadly, the smallpox hospital was fenced and out of reach!
However, I got to the Chapel, the lighthouse and saw some sculptures of E pluribus unum in the middle of the island on the west side.

A few frames taken in Manhattan last weekend as the city is decorated for Christmas and cold wind roams the streets. Here is to another year of happiness.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

A failed subway project in downtown Manhattan on the west side has been converted to a public urban park. This was Black Friday last week. Hence, the images may be a little dark

The Silent Camera
Always fascinated by the odds of the world we live in, I keep my camera at close range all the time just to capture anything my eyes see and like.
This blog will document journeys to places unknown(to this fella at least) and show you around through his eyes.
My long term goal is to visit all of the 392 national parks in the United States and hopefully many more interesting places.I hope you like how I see our world.
Feel free to send me your shouts & murmurs either by leaving a comment or through the contact page.
Ciao!
