Please come visit, tour the studios of our neighbor artists, and see the vintage printing presses in action.
End days
This is what currently remains of the Fairhaven Mills building in the North-end. I am guessing the last little bits of the building will be down within the next couple of days.
Peep-show
This little antique peep-hole diorama can be found hidden away on the 3rd floor of the Whaling Museum. It's easy to miss, but fun to check out if you do find it.
New Bedford Storage Warehouse
Up in the North-end, above the railroad tracks. There's a lot more graffiti on the building below that isn't shown here, I will eventually climb up there and take a look, but so far this is as far as I've gotten.
Looking up
Past and Present
Looking up from the bottom of Union Street, Downtown. The lower (older) building has been in the process of being torn down for a long time now, though I'm not sure what the long term plans are for filling the void.
What I thought I knew...
Not the Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Museum
I always though this was the RJD House but I was recently corrected, apparently this is next door to the RJD, though I'm not sure what it is.
Anyone?
Whale's Watch
The New Bedford Whaling Museum
Thanks to Mat for inviting me along for this project. I've been photographing around the area for a few years now and have never really thought too much about what to do with my photos afterwards. I've been actively posting on Flickr for a few years, trying to geotag and build up a local archive of photos there, but for some reason, it's gone a bit stagnant. I'd never really thought about doing a local photoblog, but now that I'm here, I hope to be able to contribute something positive.
A New Dawn, A New Day
OK, so it's a sunset, but you get the picture.
Though New Bedford has remained a bustling hub of activity since sometime summer '08, I have not been there to document it. But there is a house in Fairhaven that has benefited from my absence, and my back is killin' me.
I'm glad folks are still dropping by to grind through the archives, we'll have more for you to see promptly.
That's right, we.
I say welcome to Cmiper, my new co-author. He comes loaded with a healthy backlog of New Bedfordian visual loot, and an interest in sharing it. So at least every few to few and a couple days, you'll see another snap of our seven-mile slice of heaven.
Please let us know of any photo-goings on about the area, and stay tuned for photo-strolls and events of interest to those interested.
cheers
