Empty Reference Repeat

elaine: 20th Jun 2005 - 18:08 GMT

ooh, nice idea. what you got in the way of sky there?

ea: 20th Jun 2005 - 18:22 GMT

looks like yours!
but what I meant was...
to see your framed skies referenced through wrought iron signage
since you're consistent about building onto posts ;)

boom boom also an empty reference repeat, unless by some oddness you got basil brush on your tv as a kid - he was a glove puppet who was a fox, and he would say something funny then say 'boom boom' for emphasis. he laughed really well, with his snout in the air, but comedy neither travels nor ages well

Peter: 21st Jun 2005 - 14:15 GMT

simply great. i love the repeat.

reminded me of this blank-like photo:

elaine: 3rd Jul 2005 - 16:01 GMT

yeah, ea - this is more what i meant, plus and , but you are right there are more - i think i have a couple more on file, but there is one specific one i want to photograph for this and ironically when i went to photograph it i had forgotten to put the memory card back in my camera, how's that for an empty sign...

elaine: 26th Jul 2005 - 09:26 GMT

...and here it is

GGP: 5th Aug 2005 - 15:01 GMT

One more.

GGP: 5th Aug 2005 - 20:24 GMT

a wee bit totemic, eh?
i may have finally found a god I can really get behind!

ea: 5th Aug 2005 - 21:50 GMT

oooooooh nooo tv?! ggp, what would wendell berry say?

elaine: 6th Aug 2005 - 07:09 GMT

the call to prayer for the 'lost' robots... hey, i thought we were going to start a cult worshipping robotbuildings?

elaine: 7th Sep 2005 - 09:02 GMT

more emptiness

elaine: 7th Sep 2005 - 14:15 GMT

ta, mate. now i have to get the empty clock face from the mental hospital

elaine: 20th Oct 2005 - 19:31 GMT

after some prevaricating i finally got the clockface - top photos here

Peter: 23rd Dec 2005 - 16:28 GMT

this is one of my favorite series on here... ranks right up there with the robot buildings... thanks elaine :)

elaine: 23rd Dec 2005 - 16:34 GMT

really? i thought perhaps it was a bit obscure and just-me ish

Peter: 23rd Dec 2005 - 16:42 GMT

are you kidding? i really love the ongoing series, where we keep adding to them... vespas, graf trux, blank references, robot faces, strawberries, abandoned lunches, etc etc.

and this one is particularly sublime, which makes me like it all the more. do keep it up...

elaine: 23rd Dec 2005 - 16:43 GMT

well, yes, i like our enriched threads too. adding pictures makes a thread oh so crunchy!

elaine: 1st Jan 2006 - 17:15 GMT

just before broadway market

Peter: 4th Jan 2006 - 20:59 GMT

that there is a lovely photo; the colors of the sky look like the sea...

elaine: 5th Jan 2006 - 09:50 GMT

and i like that there is an arrow directing us to where the nothingness may be found

Jamie: 5th Jan 2006 - 11:18 GMT

it's very fear and loathng in las vegas to my mind

Peter: 9th Jan 2006 - 17:06 GMT

official lack of information:

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 17th Jan 2006 - 00:15 GMT

The lights are on, but there's no one at home. An empty sign in Staten Island.

Peter: 10th Feb 2006 - 14:50 GMT

empty reference, wtc station:

Peter: 22nd Feb 2006 - 15:28 GMT

two train-related empty references:

the commute home is never boring when youre on the lookout for citynoise cameraphone fodder!

Peter: 22nd Feb 2006 - 15:39 GMT

this is one of my favorite threads, as a matter of fact. i am constantly on the lookout for empty references and robot faces now...

elaine: 22nd Feb 2006 - 15:41 GMT

muahahahahaha!
i have wormed into your mind!

Peter: 3rd Mar 2006 - 18:13 GMT

one more from the WTC PATH platform:

Micah: 14th Apr 2006 - 02:36 GMT

Finally got these developed!

I might have resized it too much...

anonymous: 2nd May 2006 - 15:15 GMT

Peter: 15th Jun 2006 - 16:39 GMT

an empty frame filled with music?

Peter: 15th Jun 2006 - 16:40 GMT

a couple of empty reference offerings from the local sidewalk:

Peter: 20th Jul 2006 - 15:16 GMT

a great empty reference from an industrial section of brooklyn, where i had to go to get my impounded car back (dont ask):

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 18th Aug 2006 - 18:09 GMT

Empty barber shop sign

aer suzuki: 19th Aug 2006 - 02:58 GMT

what a great thread, and this is the first time i've seen it. wow...all the shots are cool but especially the original post photos, ggp's, the broadway market shot, accodata's (very cool), peter's official lack of information, and the anonymous shot. i love how there has to be a sign announcing the other sign is not in use, what a strange concept.

and now i know that building onto posts isn't frowned upon here, coolness.
