Suspicious Package at Herald Square

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Looking South on Sixth Avenue, Herald Square.

After arriving at the Herald Square area about 1:30 p.m. from a doctor’s appointment – I biked in from Second Avenue and East 36th Street – and planning to hop the PATH back to Jersey City, and then seeing all the NYPDs coming into the area and POs roping off corners, and wondering what catastrophe was in the works until I heard a PO bark at a bunch of people to “move back” and maybe hearing something like, QMfE, “You don’t want to be near here … bomb,” or something like that, I started scurrying for a good shot.

Pictures by Howard Monath

Q: Want to wrap up?

A: Let me write a wrap-up in a few days (middle of week or so). The curfew ends today, I can start going out to talk to a few people. A lot of  ‘experts’ expect this to turn into a series of guerilla attacks , but now there is a very uneasy calm. Also, the Thai government has been arresting foreigners who they say were “outside agitators.” One English bloke is facing a possible death penalty for ‘exhorting’ the crowd to burn down the Central World Mall.

The Press at the Tribeca Film Festival: Some Observations

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Coming soon here and hunterword.com. Some limited insights. A few pictures for a tease.

About the ravages of AIDS/HIV in the poor areas of Washington D.C.

Photographers. Primarily but not exclusively online entertainment publications. Two good quotes, QMfE, "If I'm here, you know this ain't front page stuff," and, "We do this for the money."
