  • Happy New Year 2020

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing you all a joyous 2020.

  • Work in Progress

    This is either the laziest architectural rendering in history or the most terrifying apartment tower ever

  • Have it our way or no way

    Although I‘m a stickler for good customer service, I also love when a restaurant basically says “go eat somewhere else” (Hot Melody Resturant, Atlanta)

  • AirTrain JFK

    Have always loved the elegant AirTrain logo even though I describe it as “plane pooping out tracks” to those who have never seen it.

  • Typeset in the Future

  • Mugging for the camera

  • The Spinner

    Kinda sad that all the toys I wanted as a kid didn’t actually exist until I became an adult. But happy I finally got a #bladerunnerspinner, even if it’s actually an Xmas ornament.

  • CAT Phase 1

    Excited to announce the opening of Cat Aerial Transit (CAT) Phase 1. A future extension that allows for travel to the other side of the living room is planned for completion by early 2020. #catshelves

  • Max the Genius

    Behold this awesome Rushmore postcard my brother sent me ages ago. In Japan the title was “Tensai Max No Sekai” or “The World of Max the Genius.”

  • Carry that weight

    Didn’t find this one in the trash, but schlepping it back home in a Lyft XL with a good friend’s help felt equally post-collegiate.

  • Street Furniture

    TFW when you serendipitously find the exact piece of furniture you’re looking for on the street and carry it home on the subway

  • Warm Thoughts

    My body may be in NYC where it’s 24F and feels 15F. But my spirit is in a rooftop pool practicing for the Olympics. (Fullerton Hotel, Singapore)

  • Early Voting

    Best things about Early Voting:1. Early Voting2. Super-friendly poll workers3. No lines4. Stylish & plentiful voting swag5. Seeing the immaculate & inspiring interiors of NYC schools Great job @boenyc @nycvotes @nycschools! PLEASE VOTE, EVERYBODY!

  • A portrait mode of terror

    Happy Halloween! This terrifying image courtesy of my brother learning how to use Portrait Mode.

  • Subway Day 2019

    ‪Celebrating #SubwayDay with the most amazing MTA colleagues I’ve ever worked with. So proud to be part of this great team that’s revitalizing transit in NYC.‬

  • Departing BKK

  • Land Transport Gallery

    Singapore is a transit planner’s dream: fantastic metro, fast buses, road pricing, and even a great transport museum.

  • For all Chankind

    (Singapore)

  • Bangkok Spaghetti

  • Motosai BKK

    The fastest way through Bangkok traffic is often a ride on a motosai (motorcycle taxi).

  • Royal Thai Air Force Museum

    We ❤️ planes also

  • Mind the gap. Or else.

    Just a pop-up exhibit of nightmare-inducing vintage Thai railroad safety posters. (Hua Lampong Railway Station, Bangkok)

  • Bangkok Waterbus

    Watching the Khlong Saen Saep water buses

  • Hua Lampong

    We ❤️ trains (Hua Lampong Railway Station, Bangkok)

  • Changi

    OMG this airport

  • Bangkok Birthday Begins

  • Merlion Park

    It’s not really a trip to Asia until someone has asked my wife to be the Random White Lady in their vacation photo. (Singapore)

  • Chan Brothers Building

    In New York, I’m anonymous. But in Singapore, the true extent of my wealth and power is recognized.

  • Singapore Flexin’

  • Columbus Park

    Filmmaking is collective dream making. Had so much fun with these awesome ladies in Chinatown.

  • Cat’s in the bag

    Indie filmmaking essentials: gaff tape, cheap tripod, releases, headphones, ~10lb cat

  • Make America Greta Again

    (Lower Manhattan)

  • Cameo

    I asked my team to create an animated educational video that includes a character who makes a big mistake. This is how they made him look.

  • Window Shopping

    Though unsanctioned by HousingWorks management, I know my shifts as a volunteer storefront mannequin are making a difference and I will continue. (Upper West Side)

  • Night Cycles

    Of all the awesome things one can do in Central Park, night biking is one of the least known but most fun.

  • Screen mirroring: On

  • Boston Alleys

    The kind of people you NEVER want to run into in an alley. Because we’re lost and need to ask you for directions.

  • TWA Hotel

    A brief visit to the exquisite TWA Hotel

  • West Side Story

    This thing is way heavier than it looks otherwise it’d be in our living room right now.

  • Triboro Line

    Next to an RER-style train for NYC, the Triboro rail concept is my fave transit expansion concept. I hope it gets built sooner rather than later. Kudos to RPA and Open House New York for a great kickoff to their Moving City series.

  • SEPTA Double Rainbow

  • G.O.A.T.

    Photobombed at Farm Sanctuary.

  • High Falls

    Our first but definitely not last visit to Rochester’s High Falls.

  • Pride Train

    The Pride Trains have arrived! 50 subway cars on the 1 line now have special decals to symbolize the 50 years since #Stonewall. So proud of my MTA colleagues who helped make this idea a reality. #worldpride #pride2019

  • A Tall Tale

    Since you asked: yes we absolutely wood recommend a visit to the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum.

  • Star Party

    Waiting for the darkest skies on the East Coast. (Cherry Springs State Park, Pennsylvania)

  • Shopping while Stupid

  • Russian Doll

    When an evening stroll turns into “let’s go find where the last scene of Russian Doll was shot.” This beautiful closing sequence features the equally exquisite Alone Again Or by Love. (Hamilton Heights, Manhattan)

  • Things Just Got WTF

    Am I the only one who finds this terrifying on every level? #pennsylvanialottery

  • Foggy Coney Island

    Laid-back movie making.
