bodie and eljay
last saturday
was
a beautiful day
aside
from
my errands
and
our walk in the park
i also
had
a meet up
with
an instagrammer
who
posts
as
mistermanhattan
he does a photo feature
called
whyilovenewyorkcity
where
he posts
photo portraits
he's taken
of
new
to
nyc
instagrammers
the
post includes
a backstory
of
how
they came to live here and why they love this city
he asked
if
i wanted to be featured
i said
sure
we arranged to meet at the 79th street entrance to riverside park
i was to pick a place
that was special to me
riverside park
is very special to me
why
because
during toonman's recuperation 3-4 years back
he went
from
walking slowly up riverside drive
outside the park
with a cane
supporting him
to
walking
inside the park
on his own
anyway
i shared
that
with
mistermanhattan
aka
eljay
(his real name)
he took my photo
he asked
if
i wanted to see it
i decided
i would
wait
be surprised
when he posts it
i will let you know
when that happens
so all you IGers
can rush over
and
see it
after we did the interview/photo
he walked up to zabars with me
and
thats
where
we met
bodie
i tried
to get some shots
kneeling down
but
he kept coming to see me
vs
sitting nicely
eljay
managed to get him to behave
so
i stood behind him
and
took these
bodie
is
a boxer mix
who was adopted
- do not shop, adopt -
from
a shelter in the midwest
his person
found him on petfinder.com
he's a puppy
who is going to be one amazing dog
he's such a good boy
look at that face
look at those paws
