I've taken to carrying my camera with me just in case I find something "blog worthy," and on most days I am taking pictures. I was riding with a colleague tonight on my way to being dropped off at the subway and as we were driving down a quiet side street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn I spotted the big trailers that are the sign that a movie is being made. He graciously went around the block to pull over so that I could take pictures to share with all of my dear gentle readers.The movie is "Bounty" and despite intense googling I couldn't find any information about it. The street was decorated to look like the Fourth of July in a small town. I've thought for years that Greenpoint looks out of another era, as there's been little renovation and the signage and small stores have the look I remember from the '50s and '60s. Obviously other people thought the same way. I especially like seeing the movie equipment together with the street decoration for the film.
So enjoyed sharing my evening's excitement!

Well, got some get photos ... TTFN ~ Marydon
Greenpoint sure is pretty! Very small-town looking...how pretty to see it decorated, it fit right in with flag day! I like that float, too!
Oh! If you knew how your pictures from New York are totally changing my image of the place. (Of course, I live in Texas and rarely see a cowboy...)This looks like a little village from days gone by.
Looking forward to hearing about the movie!
How exciting!
The movie, The Grass Harp, was filmed right down the street from my house. The set designers rented a lot of art from my gallery to place in the old house. It was so fun to watch it all take place!
I'm going to have to keep a watch out for Bounty. Let us know if you hear anything.
Have a wonderful day~
