What happened dealing with the blackout
I t so happened that on the day of the blackout I had some stuff to complete, and it wasn’t web design. That day when the lights went out, I was watching some tv days of our lives.
Things went off and I thought it was some power problem in the building that will return soon. I got an Eton FR400 AM/FM/VHF-TV/WX Emergency Radio, the manual the same radio to this day and it works just fine.
I Turn to 1010 WINS/WCBS 880 where I got all the information that I needed to get through the rest of the day into the next. Over the next few hours after that, I headed outside to shoot a few images before it got dark. I took my bike around the area and made a ride to 34th street and back. Looking at how things looked like power began to return hrs. later, it was a very cool experience to see how the city responded to the lights being out.
I spoke with a friend of mine as we rode into Manhattan and back to Brooklyn as we observed the darkness drown out the city. My camera wasn’t up to task to capture stunning images, but I still managed to get something to record the past and keep it safe.
