Video - Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular »

This video was actually shot in 2004. I have shown a small clip of it previously but now technology has allowed me to pull the full seven minutes together into a reasonably sized file.

What you are looking at is the Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular on July 4th, 2004. This video was shot from a bridge in Greenpoint, Brooklyn looking out towards the East River. I love the fact that you can hear all the explosions. Enjoy!

Video - Midtown Walk »

Without further delay please join me on a walk through Midtown Manhattan. I start at Penn Station, head north to the new New York Times building, go over to Times Square, up Broadway then make my way past the very cool Hearst building up to Columbus Circle. It’s a lovely day so I’m glad to have you along.
