Brooklyn, NY - GGP - Saturday, May 14th, 2005 : goo

I'd like to introduce you to the work of two local artists. The first is kind of a sad tale. This is the work of a homeless man. For years, he has stuffed things--greenery in spring & summer & mostly paper in the fall and winter--into the hollows of old fire hydrants & other unexpected spots in need of adornment.
The other local artist is unknown to me. I have no idea who this is, but here is his/her window, which as you can see is adorned with interesting cut-outs, mainly of various dog breeds. That big building reflected in the glass is the Williamsburgh Bank Clocktower--my favorite building in Brooklyn, and for many years, the tallest building in the borough. It is a grand structure, built just before the great depression. 
Of all the cut-outs, this one is my favorite. Funny, I never noticed it until today. It's so serene.

doesn't water come out of fire hydrants? does water ever come out of those fire hydrants? why do we even call them fire hydrants anyway?

yeah, they should call them "no parking signs around here, because they prevent you from using so many potentially great parking spaces, heh...
