clipper's remarks: They're at it again, that haunted house of delightful ghouls and fun-loving ghosts; a creepy if tacky scare behind each door and from every shadow.

Photograph by Damon Winter/The New York Times

Pedestrians pass through a pattern of light projected onto the crosswalk under the 207th Street subway platform in Manhattan as Nelson Garo paddles the Harlem River from a launching point only a few blocks away, in Inwood Hill Park.

In the current Lens photography series, running through September, Damon Winter of The Times uses double exposures to capture the endless juxtapositions in New York City. Read about how he creates these photographs.

clipper's remarks: This is the winner of Smithsonian magazine's Altered Images category. A great effect that's reminiscent of the film "Dr. Cyclopes."

Miniature children playing in a drinking fountain
Anupam Pal (Kanpur, India)

Photographed December 2007, Chakdaha, India

The fountain was shot in Pennsylvania and the children (the photographer's niece and nephews) in Chakdaha, India. "The person in the background is me," says Pal. "The idea was to show the necessity of cleaner and safer water, not just for drinking but for everything." —Abigail Tucker

A PRIVATE DRIVE-IN?

clipper's remarks: Every time I imagine I've seen all there is to see in NYC, I'm pleasantly surprised with much more to see that surprises me.

Manhattan's only drive-in cinema and the world's smallest - it only has room for one car - DRV-IN involves no "driving in" at all. Artists Ben and Hall Smyth's version of the classic Americana outdoor theatres of the 1950s and 60s is actually a performance space that every few months re-invents itself – a comment on the evolving and rapidly changing neighbourhood of its Lower Eastside location. A few months ago, it was a table-tennis parlour called Pong, before that a barn store selling salvaged wood. Right now, the 350 sq ft storefront consists of a 1965 blue four-door Ford Falcon convertible – open the doors a smidgen and you'll hit the sidewalls - a movie screen and painted starry skies, artificial grass and a potted tree. Oh, and a concession stand. There's space for six people in the Falcon and DRV-IN's film schedule cherry-picks the best movies of the past 40 years. Speaking of which, that drive-in tradition of necking in the backseat is welcomed.

Penguin at the 125th Brooklyn Bridge Anniversary

June 3rd, 2008

I just went with a pal to the 125th anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge. How cool is that? Can you believe, 125 years? - no kidding!

We hung out during the day and then stayed all the way through to the night light show. It was an absolutely beautiful sight

If you’d like a little Brooklyn Bridge history, New York City Roads has a great page.
