Working in Dumbo

One of the interesting things about working in Dumbo (note: if you check out the Wikipedia entry, look for the picture of the "pocket park", my office building is the one behind it) is that there is so much filming going on.

Walking to work and seeing the big film trucks and areas blocked off and the catering trucks for the crew is a fairly regular occurrence. The neighborhood just has a funky warehouse feel that works in movies and TV shows.

Sometimes it’s just a fashion shoot. These are less of a production. You usually see one drop dead gorgeous woman in clothes that make no sense for the neighborhood being followed around by a motley group of photographers. Seeing a model try to navigate the cobblestone streets in 6 inch heels is quite amusing.

And so it was today. It’s 30 degrees and windy. So of course there was a beautiful woman in purple spandex exercise shorts pretending to run while guys on ladders take photographs.

An amusing way to start my day…
