October. My favorite month of the year. The weather cools down, the fall colors break out. We're that much closer to Thanksgiving (read: turkey and pie).
This year, so much has happened and the month is not even over as I type. The following images captured the essence of October 2011 in my little part of the world.
In early October, everyone's favorite tech genius and entrepreneur lost his battle to pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. The only appropriate way to capture this tribute outside my neighborhood Apple store was with the iPhone 4S.
During a visit to Zuccotti Park in mid October, I met a range of talented individuals.
This guy had a perpetual grin on his face as he pivoted around to ensure protesters and gawkers alike had a fair chance to read his message.
This guy painted all the flaps of the tiny box he was sitting in.
His latest sign read, "Let's show China how it's done."
The guy in the foreground slept through it all -- quite an accomplishment, considering the musicians on the steps were playing at a volume so loud that the nearby crowd couldn't hear each other speak.
This bicycle picture was taken for Un Ragazzo. It seemed like everyone at Zuccotti Park had a different goal and message.
Bring a t-shirt or apron and get a complimentary silkscreening.
On Halloween weekend, as the snow began to fall, folks at Zuccotti Park hunkered down beside Double Check, the bronze businessman sitting on a nearby bench.
Meanwhile, back uptown, snow accumulated nicely on the brownstone roofs, as smoke spewed from some chimneys.
A pumpkin looked out the momofuku window at the sleet that soon turned to snow.
At the "neighborhood graveyard," the black crow got a new coat of white.
"Good weather" was clearly not in sight at the community garden in the 'hood.
A kids' halloween party snowed in.
Pumpkins on steps in hiding.
With two more days to go, will October bring another interesting twist? Don't hold your breath; Halloween Monday is yet to come.
