This past Wednesday night, Matt and I drove south through Brooklyn and over the Verrazano to Staten Island. We were there to see Peter Puleo’s cousin’s death metal band, The Aurora Fortress. We saw them play at The Cup, which was definitely an interesting scene. If any of you are fans of that style of music, definitely check them out as they put on a really solid show.

Anyway, we left because our stomachs were yearning for some pizza. My friend Mike was with us and told us about this one place we had to try. His mom is from Staten Island, and they always would go to Denino’s when they would meet on the island for big family gatherings. I have to say, Matt and I were mighty impressed. The pizza was definitely a different style than your traditional Brooklyn pie, but it was incredibly tasty.

After grabbing dinner, we thought it might be a good idea to grab a shot or two, given that the sky looked pretty nice that night, and we both had our cameras and tripods from shooting the show. We drove down Port Richardson Avenue to the water and came across the Philip T. Feeney Tugboat. It’s a great little scene down there with really interesting and beautiful light, both in the day and at night.
