Staten Island Time

Inspired by an exhibition that is currently on view at the Museum of the City of New York, I ventured off of the comfortable and familiar island of Manhattan on this foggy fall day and stepped into some personally-uncharted territory: Staten Island. Highlights included scenic Fort Wadsworth, Historic Richmond Town and Sailor's Snug Harbor.
