NYCSPC X Ricoh in Flushing, Queens

in

On September 18, 2022, NYCSPC teamed up with Ricoh for a photo walk in Flushing, Queens. Participants met members of the street photography community and tried out the entire Ricoh GR line up. Some of us already knew (and others discovered) that the Ricoh GR III and Ricoh GR IIIx are the ultimate companions for street photographers. The Ricoh GR offers a tack sharp lens in a tiny pocketable camera body without compromising on features. If you missed our first Ricoh walk, we’ll be meeting again very soon in the East Village. We hope to see you there! Following is a sampler from the Flushing walk:

An "Only in New York" Christmas Story

An “Only in New York” Holiday Story…

Only in New York

in

From a March 22 Cindy Adams column in the New York Post:

John Steinbeck. California-born, Stanford U dropout, Pulitzer Prize winner, Nobel Prize winner, author of “The Grapes of Wrath,” “Of Mice and Men,” “East of Eden.” His thoughts on his earliest trip to NYC: “The city beat the pants off me. Whatever it required to get ahead, I didn’t have it. I didn’t leave the city in disgust — I left it with the respect plain, unadulterated fear gives. . .

“All of everything is concentrated here, population, theater, art, writing, publishing, importing, business, murder, mugging, luxury, poverty. It is all of everything. It goes all night. It is tireless, and its air is charged with energy . . .

“Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous. But there is one thing about it — once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough.”

It’s only in New York, kids, only in New York.
