jeeff: there were a bunch of elderly prostitutes (i'm talking 60 yrs old plus) who serviced the large population of homeless men and drifters in my neighbourhood in tokyo. they often squatted in the gutters at night, even when i was walking right past. they always repelled and kind...

in response to Mr. Chicago

Jamie: Just my 2 pence, but a couple of weeks ago i watched a fat bare assed woman taking a piss on a roundabout in Thame near Oxford. My partner swears she saw the stream of piss.

in response to Mr. Chicago

For god and ulster and the queen too!!!: i'd just like to say this island actually was fenian so they do own it but it wasn't the british who conquered ireland it was the french who invaded it before the british and might i remind you british scotland helped catholic ireland win back there country so catholics should...

in response to Shankill Road: Belfast

elaine: it's a good question, though. I don't know how important it is to come to a conclusion. It might even be important not to

Shane: Shut up! Where are moscows great sites fags

in response to Sites of Moscow

jeeff: you might argue that this guy (and the poo woman) are more human than those of us who keep ourselves more tightly in check. a lot of people make the connection between humanity and vulnerability. i don't know if i buy that tho.

in response to Mr. Chicago

elaine: my friend Ian saw a woman do a shit on a wall by the canal in full view recently. He said he though about taking a photo but he couldn't quite bring himself to, even though she obviously could bring herself to do what she was doing... When you pass...

in response to Mr. Chicago

elaine: would the real beavis and butthead please stand up?

in response to Mr. Chicago

elaine: Re: Today. Likey.

in response to Today

elaine: I am glad. Though it may mean you are a mentalist too. Anyway I figure it is an improvement on my uncles who, when I was a kid, knew who all the actors were in all the old films on TV, and used to have the commentary 'he's dead, he's...

in response to Rhine from above

Peter: i do the same whenever i watch a movie (and there are so many, heh) that features nyc. bonus points for being able to point out some of the more obscure landmarks, heh...

in response to Rhine from above

elaine: which is why I will watch virtually any film or tv prog featuring any shots but preferably aerial and especially a fly thru of a city - any one will do, one I know gets the theme tune 'I've been there, I've been there, I've been there, I've been there,...

in response to Rhine from above

Peter: i really like that first photo. i hadnt seen this entry before.

in response to tlp - stickers and paste-ups

jeeff: if i'm not mistaken someone on the steps has tied a bit of caution tape to the passed-out guy's hand and they're moving it up and down? that's pretty inhumane.

in response to Mr. Chicago

Peter: am i the only one wondering about that hazy cloud of moisture that seems to be soaking the pavement from the region of his ass?

in response to Mr. Chicago

Peter: thanks :) i still have that phone. never used it, but it definitely serves as a kitschy decorative piece. i love its color.

in response to Toro, Toro, Toro

Marc: hey that's my dad!!! tell him i want a new bicycle for arbor day..

in response to Mr. Chicago

gangbuster: Re: Humboldt Park I just put a down payment on my new huboldt park condo!! Just a matter of time before starbucks moves in. Ain't a bullet that can stop it.

in response to Hack the City

kobe: gotta love those aerial shots.

in response to Rhine from above

kobe: that last photo is enchanting. i wonder how long those windows keep repeating?

in response to Scenes from a Little Town Called Jacksonville

kobe: geez, that looks like a haunted house or something. if the car wasnt in the shot, it would be completely timeless.

in response to Falling Down

kobe: lol is that for real?

in response to Ninjas Killed My Family - Need Money for Kung-Fu Lessons

Ben: I love that. Did you photoshop the glare off it?

in response to jeef bird

elaine: the blue one is weird as fuck, it looks like the sky is the bottom of a swimming pool

in response to clouds like hair like clouds the body building ground

Peter: i love b'way boogie woogie... i used to have a huge poster of it in my room. actually, i just saw the painting itself a while back when i was visiting moma. i like these photos too- its nice to see em again. those photos are of where i used to...

in response to Views Around the East Side, FDR Pkwy

elaine: I like a lot of these and all together it's like a tune a bit like the mondrian painting broadway boogie woogie which doeslook like NY streets when you look down, this has a syncopation as a selection. and as gilbert and george say 'it's rude to choose'. but I...

in response to Views Around the East Side, FDR Pkwy

jeeff: coool.

in response to tokyo waterways (the arteries)

elaine: narcissist!

Prettyspecial: no, if you dont mind, i would prefer not.

in response to Kunstwerk

jack: nice picture. I like it. can i use it on my website?

in response to Kunstwerk

Peter: i changed this article back to its old article # here on the site, as it was getting alot of external links, and i wanted em to be live again :)

in response to tokyo waterways (the arteries)

Peter: wow, thats some fresh stuff! i also like how it happens to match the scheme for this site, heh.

in response to Indy Graf Jam

Peter: thats jeeff!

in response to jeef bird

hasslehoff: This dude looks like a freak of nature.

in response to jeef bird

hasslehoff: Having heard a lot about Jacksonville from an old friend who once lived there, yet never having seen any pictures of it. I have always imagined it to be more concrete-boxy than these photos portray it to be. I'm inrigued by its supposedly random juxtaposition of architectural forms.

in response to Scenes from a Little Town Called Jacksonville

jeeff: Re: first photo what a weird combination. the detailing on the tracks makes them look like some leftover from the Roman empire. And then a 70's po-mo train on top.

in response to Scenes from a Little Town Called Jacksonville

elaine: Re: Town of Saratoga bleak! love it!

in response to Town of Saratoga

elaine: stickers are a lost art aren't they? bring back stickers I say, in general. the word 'toycam' is very exciting I'm guessing it is a language hack? two great things, toys and cams in one great package - next thing you'll tell me you film things with it and they...

in response to handprints on a post box

hasslehoff: The multitudal colours of the streets facades bring back recollections of Ireland. So vibrant in the summertime.

in response to Kids Playing on the Sidewalk

Peter: i love this neighborhood. i live at the corner of this street and the avenue. when its sunny, like in this photo, its so pretty.

in response to Kids Playing on the Sidewalk

hasslehoff: this sure looks like a colourful neighbourhood

in response to Kids Playing on the Sidewalk

Jamie: Totally, i still have a whole bunch of the "All Your City" stickers you mailed me way back in the day. All your Lincolnshire are belong to us! Mwuuuhaaa haa haa! That crazy toycam was a lot of fun, i don't know what happened to it.

in response to handprints on a post box

Peter: ive often- when viewing a lovely clump of cumulus clouds- sung the opening to the simpson's theme song... "the siiiiimp-soooooonsssss..."

in response to Cloud

Peter: there is a recessed doorway in the front of a warehouse in my neighborhood. whenever i pass it, the stench of copious, stale urine is so overpowering you almost gag. its the only remotely conceiled doorway/area on the entire street, so people must often take advantage of that fact when...

in response to Mayday Fun

Peter: jamie, remember this? there is an entry here somewhere of the jamazon/citynoise stickers that got plastered all over nyc busses anad payphones, but i cant find the entry at the moment... also: i used to like your b/w toycam photos... still got that cam?

in response to handprints on a post box

Peter: similar but different... as in, the space is similar... the ramp you can see biscecting the middle photo is very much still there, and is the only entrance to "the hole" as far as i can tell, save perhaps for a few staircases. almost all of the scattered debris have...

in response to Ground Zero: lower Manhattan as it looks today

Peter: thats cool- i can see a couple of em open in the above photo. such a lovely building- nice to know it was engineered as well as it looks.

in response to The Gherkin

Peter: the world is a small place, eh?

in response to Holland Market Ernie

Peter: when i was a little kid, i used to go to an amusement park that had bumper-cars shaped like ladybugs. this made me think of that. of driving bumper-cars up the side of a building.... heh!

in response to Infested

Holbeach: God, i think i know this bloke. He is mental. Ernie! i will shout at him the next time i see him in Spalding.

in response to Holland Market Ernie

elaine: Re: The Gherkin's windows open! I was watching a 2 hour docco (!) on TV the other day and it seems that part of the innovation of the design is that the windows open making it 40%more energy efficient than comparative square structures that need year round airconditioning. imagine...

in response to The Gherkin

hasslehoff: the dark life of toys

in response to wait patiently

elaine: Re: Ground Zero: lower Manhattan as it looks today what's it like today today?

in response to Ground Zero: lower Manhattan as it looks today

elaine: Re: handprints on a post box. the most ethereal printmaking.. nicely captured, and worth getting down. Sometimes things like that don't photograph so well, or it just doesn't seem possible. I didn't redecorate a room for a long time because I had become attached to dirt on the wall...

in response to handprints on a post box

elaine: the dark life of toys... I like that the wait patiently is not a font, although it is remarkably badly designed, so not done patiently, as such, but reproduced 3 times which is at least keen. Grubby lookin place. I always imagine canada to be squeaky clean... now ...

in response to wait patiently

Jamie: oh, how i miss my cmeha 35, and the days of old. Tenaciously peppering the streets of Northern Ireland with a tirade of weatherproof thermo-printed citynoise stickers. 2002 was a mixed blessing.

in response to handprints on a post box

elaine: you and many other gentlemen. in my pissing in the streets days I favoured between parked cars; it must be a girl thing

in response to Mayday Fun

elaine: Re: Cloud. I like tha cloud, and a lovely link to a vomit story thrown in. My lucky day. The other day I was on the phone to my mum and I said, Oh my God the clouds outside are JUST LIKE the opening sequence of The Simpsons!...

Editor: correctly linked here
