We’ve invited one of our favorite photogs Darwin Bell to share some of his extraordinary local snaps with us, along with what the heck he was thinking when he took them.
A View From the Ground

Darwin Bell: “This photograph taught me to always look up. I went down this driveway on Pierce Street, off Hayes, to take a picture of a rusty lock — and happened to look up because I heard a Blue Angel plane flying overhead. I saw this blue cross between the white buildings. Always look up!”
Ed note: Which reminds us of a zinger from a much-loved poem by Frank O’Hara, where the sun says to him: “I know you love Manhattan, but you ought to look up more often.” Except, you know, Frank got run over by a jeep on a beach on Fire Island. Be careful!
