Hi! The camera that I took these pictures with is broken. If you like them, please donate
a few dollars to help me buy a new one so I can shoot some more.
A donation of $20 per image grants unrestricted royalty-free distribution. Thanks!

New York City Blackout as Photographed by John Wehr, Page 2

All of these photographs were taken by John Wehr (of Memeufacture and RFID News fame. Well not really fame.)

The further North Sarah and I went the less happy people seemed to be. There were a few people laughing but I think that was their way of dealing with the stress.
So we decided to get a soda and go to the park.
Time passes, and it turns out my friend Eric was at a nearby bar drinking water because he had no cash. All the ATMs in the city were down until the next day.
Then he made me give him some money for some falafel. Sarah went home. (Why, I don't know, the place is boring enough when there is power. Something about being tired.) We went back to the park.
It started to get dark, and there wasn't much chance of the power going back on. I decided to take some ridiculous photographs.
Nancy Whiskey has six dollar pitchers. Even when there is no power. They also have a special "You can drink in the street, the cops have better things to do" license.
I get a little anxious.
A line of a hundred police officers presumably marching to the Brooklyn bridge passed my apartment right as night fell.
