The South Street Seaport is a historic area of New York City, located in Manhattan next to the Financial District and bounded by the East River.

The Seaport features renovated mercantile buildings and historic sailing ships, as well as modern shops and nightlife.Visitors to the area should make sure to make time for the South Street Seaport Museum.

Do you have a fun creative photos to honor the Holiday season? If so please feel free to share. Before heading to my feng shui consultation near the South Street Seaport peir 17, I decided to walk around and came across some beautiful views. I am a big fan of historical buildings and stone streets. They have so much character and personality.

Mobile Office 101 When you blog on the run like I do, it pays to have a mobile office that's compact and versatile. It doesn't matter if you are into Windows or Mac. What matters is that your equipment does what you want it to do when you need it to do it. It warmed up today (and actually rained) so the diffused lighting made my photo-shoot at the South Street Sea Port an interesting challenge. Working with a Nikon and Toshiba laptop I was able to capture and process my digital images on the fly in order to make snap decisions regarding the subject matter of my next gallery show. I started sketching this view an hour ago. When I get back home I'm going to block it out on a canvass and start painting it for the wee people. I plan on turning it into a limited edition art poster when I am...

What a great way to get away from looking at New York apartments for a little while, and be reminded that New York City is amazing!  I joined a group of friends this week for a two hour sunset sailing cruise that traveled from Pier 17 at South Street Seaport, around the Statue of Liberty, and back.  Unlike the big Circle Line cruises, our trip was aboard the Clipper City, a 158 foot schooner built from the plans of the original 1854 ship that was built in Wisconsin. The original ship was decommissioned in 1890, but in 1984 naval architects rebuilt her, with modifications to meet modern safety regulations. The plans are in the permanent collection at the Smithsonian. She carries six fore-and-aft rigged sails, and two square topsails on two steel masts.  Oh, it also has a full cash bar. ...
