Henry Hudson Bridge


Henry Hudson Bridge, originally uploaded by Jim Frazier.

The Henry Hudson Bridge is a steel arch toll bridge in New York City across the Spuyten Duyvil Creek, a tidal strait. It connects the Spuyten Duyvil section of The Bronx with the northern end of Manhattan to the south. On the Manhattan side, it touches Inwood Hill Park. The bridge has two roadway levels carrying an aggregate of seven traffic lanes, the lower level having been opened to traffic in 1936 and the upper level in 1938. It was designed by David B. Steinman (in realization of his PhD thesis) and built by the American Bridge Company at an original cost of $4,949,000 for the original single deck structure. A second deck had been designed in and was added in 1938 at an additional cost of approximately $2,000,000.

Jim Frazier Arrested for Wearing a Tie

One of my benchmarks for a long beard is whether or not it hides the tie knot. I didn't expect to find out before I cut this baby down. Heck, the last time I wore a tie was for either a funeral or a wedding - can't remember. But then I worked an assignment photographing a fund-raising event. A tie seemed appropriate for the situation.

Maybe I'll let the beard grow a little longer. Christmas is coming and there are little children everywhere who need to have their dreams destroyed. ;-)

New York Aster ballad

Kate "encouraged me" to join her on a trip to Home Depot's garden center to look for mums. As usual, I got distracted and made her buy me this toy. That'll teach her.

Kate's Place Setting


Kate's Place Setting, originally uploaded by Jim Frazier.

We had some friends over for dinner Saturday and Kate broke out the good stuff. The china is from her mother, the crystal and flatware are from the event that happened 25.5 years ago.

When I saw the table after she had set it, I had to break out all the camera equipment that she made me put away. Dinner was excellent, by the way. Wow.
