Hi there. I'm Aaron Sonnenberg. I work at blip.tv and live in Greenpoint. You can find me on flickr, twitter or e-mail me at: aaron/at/blip/dot/tv
This is home, and this is everything.

The sun dipping into the ocean off the California coast.
I lived in Los Angeles for almost 15 years of my life and was shocked to realize that until this moment, I had never really witnessed how quickly the sun makes its final plunge into the Pacific.
Now I’m back in New York and it feels freezing as fuck.
Maybe there is something to this weather argument after-all.
Oh well, the Pizza here still wins the day.

Slowly working my way through all the pictures from our Alaska trip months ago.
This one was taken on the Alaska Railroad ride from Anchorage to Seward.

Montauk Air Force Station Radar Tower 01
Camp Hero - Montauk, Long Island.
—
“The Montauk Air Force Station was an important link in the Cold War air defenses of the United States. Located at the extreme eastern tip of Long Island, its mission was to guard the New York metropolitan area and the northeastern United States against a surprise air attack by nuclear armed Soviet bombers.
The Air Force established its first radar at Montauk Point during the summer of 1948. The Montauk base was later incorporated into the nation’s first two air defense radar networks known as the “Lashup” and “Permanent” networks. Operation of the base was the responsibility of the Air Force’s 773rd Aircraft Control & Warning (AC&W) Squadron.
Many different types of surveillance and height finder radars were deployed at the base during its years of operation, reflecting the latest developments in radar technology.
One of the Cold War’s largest and most technically advanced surveillance radars, a Sperry built AN/FPS-35, became operational at Montauk during 1960. The “35” was able to detect airborne objects at distances of well over 200 miles. It also incorporated “frequency diversity” features making it resistant to electronic countermeasures.”

Happy Sunday.
Just read the paper and now on to some photo editing/processing.
It can be hard to balance the urge to be outside exploring with the work I want to get done inside (Not to mention the desire/need to be a total lump sometimes).
Today the cold weather made that decision for me.
That said, if someone could please keep the sun in the sky for another couple of hours that would be a big help.
