Roof party in Brooklyn — © Brian Rose

Did another round of pick up basketball pictures at some courts in Chinatown. Early in the evening a fierce, but brief, thunderstorm passed through leaving the air fresh and cool. Roof party in Brooklyn was interrupted, but resumed under a brilliant rainbow.

This morning I got out with my view camera and did architectural photographs of our building–an assignment from the architect/developer. I wanted to do a photograph from the roof across the street, but assumed that would have to wait till I made arrangements with the owner. As I was shooting on the street, I spotted someone I thought might be the super–he was–and I ended up on the roof. Sometimes you get lucky.
