After witnessing morning muffin robbery in a nearby cafe, Josh and I took a nice stroll around Williamsburg this morning. For a few blocks the view is clear across the river and will stay that way as the area is to be turned into a park (with residential high-rises to the north and south). We walked past some very quiet industrial buildings and north until all the shop names and signs turn to Polish.
We wandered into the aftermath of a house fire attended to by at least a dozen fire trucks. Most of the damage seemed to have been inflicted by the fire-crews though, who appeared to be slowly tearing the first and second floor apartments to pieces. There must have been a fire inside the walls.
We had dinner at a local restaurant called monkey town who have a back room where video art is projected onto large screens that cover all four walls - not a great piece showing but pretty cool nonetheless.
As usual my proper camera has suddenly run out of juice (I suspect there is something wrong with it) so I'm just using my camera phone until I get some more batteries. The quality isn't too bad (I have a k750i with a supposedly 2 megapixel camera) and it's nice to carry a camera in your pocket. I would like to figure out how to turn the fake shutter sound off though...
