Fresh blood and New Faces?

photos by Bed-Stuy photographer: Brandon King

Okay, sadly I'm barely able to blog even on weekends. So I'm thinking either shut this baby down or open it up to some fresh blood. Any Bed-Stuyers out there interested in having their photos and/or stories of the hood published on my blog? Pending, of course, whether I think your words/pix have similar Bed-Stuy Banana snark/compassion/wonder/interests. If you're new to my blog, I'm intrigued by viewpoints from people of all colours, all ages, all backgrounds, gay or straight - hipsters, old-timers, activists, parents, kids, homeowners, renters, the young and fabulous, the down and out. However - a couple of things I've been meaning to check out - that if you want to check out yourself - I'd love to publish - local street fashion, interviews with unusual people, the local music scene, vegetarian food reviews in the hood, and of course graffiti -all sorts. I want to hear about your interactions with your neighbours, the tomatoes you're growing in your front yard, the solar paneling you're installing on your roof, why you're moving to the neighbourhood, why you're moving out, and why you stay. No pay unfortunately. Just the chance to have your work seen by roughly 300 people daily and a link to your website if you have one. If interested, email me with "fresh blood" in the subject line.

For the love of god (in lower caps) do not quit. Get fresh blood and persevere! You are one of the few "neighborhood blogs" I like. What's more I like you. ;)

Thanks Miss Heather. I appreciate that.

Please don't quit. I am not a bed-sty'r, but I so enjoy reading your blog. Your unique perspective is refreshing and not only fun to read, enlightening at times. I think calling for "guest bloggers" is a good idea... just don't quit, pretty please?
