fede: yo, thats awesome.

in response to Sutro Baths

cityboi05: Well I live in Tallahassee.I believe development in this city is desperately needed. The things that keep the city of Tallahasse going are it's 2 universities, and the fact that Tallahassee is Florida's capital. Any kind of private business could help this city really.They are finally trying to develop this...

in response to Two Views of Tallahassee

Peter: "BIKE MESSENGER WEDGED INTO 8-INCH GAP - & LIVES" www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/43085.htm

in response to Bike Messenger Pinned In East Side Crash

elaine: you want ordanance survey, mate... or a helecopter

in response to my world in brooklyn

elaine: today's standard had a headline 'gherkin in a pickle' which i expect they were just busting to use. seems a window fell 40 feet out the building... teething trouble

in response to More of the Gherkin Building

paul riddel: I know this guy. He looks like a goat. Not only does he look like a goat, he acts like one too. He has the mannerisms of a farm raised goat. Also, his name is Billy, though his surname is not Goat. That surely would be an ultimately strange coincidence....

in response to Utah... 1000th Entry!

in response to Sutro Baths

Peter: cmon, people, if you use someone else's photos, give em credit. youd get pissed if your citynoise content was being used by others without credit, you know?

in response to Sutro Baths

Editor: no worries, this is a user driven site. You can have a link www.sutrobaths.com if you like :-)

in response to Sutro Baths

hasslehoff: > but for some reason, never got a chance to go down and take a look slick man, s l i c k!

in response to Sutro Baths

Peter: cool... one of the first dates i had with my wife was at cliffhouse. we parked in a gravel lot just above the baths, but for some reason, never got a chance to go down and take a look... we did get to see teh "musee mechanique" that used to...

in response to Sutro Baths

Peter: i know that after all this snow, i sure am glad to see spring come! and that definitely puts a smile on my face...

hasslehoff: do you find the change in seasons affects you without reason?

in response to Winter in Prospect Heights

Anonymous (pcp09872497pcs.ewndsr01.nj.comcast.net): yeah this is great.

in response to things i meant to say...

hasslehoff: personally i speak very poor french, but sometimes i catch myself thinking in french. maintennant s'il vous plait pamplemousse, oui!

in response to urban orienteering

Anonymous (host134-170.student.udel.edu): Wow, these are absolutely stunning!! The second one is my favorite, the stars are gorgeous.

in response to things i meant to say...

in response to The Lost Rules of Living in NYC:

hasslehoff: i program my own computer. beam myself into the future.

in response to German Cyclist

Peter: i bet he listens to kraftwerk too...

in response to German Cyclist

Peter: wow... that place looks so different in 1915... actually, it looks exactly the same, but with much less density in the trees. i love archival photos of familiar places...

in response to brooklyn botanic garden : april 19, 2005

Peter: near my hometown...

in response to And so this is winter at Bandit\'s Cave

Peter: i really love that last shot...

in response to things i meant to say...

Peter: ahh, that area of america that looks like someone copied the same scenery over and over. and over... and over.

in response to st louis north to chicago (pt. II)

Peter: the sign in the last shot is really exhorting. funny.

in response to happiness is penguin

Peter: gotta love the fisheye. the last photo, in the bus, looks great. sort of reminds me of this entry.

in response to 65 Grand bus

Peter: some photos I have of a few of the items on this panorama: 3. the fountain 5. the public library 7. the archway at grand army plaza I posted these in a new entry... this entry has a bad photo of the Grand Army Plaza subway stop.

in response to my world in brooklyn

Peter: wow, I am really feeling rollingwood now, this place i had never heard of 5 minutes ago, but now have a vaguely profound appreciation for. thanks marc. i think id like to do a similar pictorial about my hometown... ill have to start collecting photos!

in response to And so this is winter at Bandit\'s Cave

elaine: This is full speech. PS I like the bit about imagining you in the photograph, it's like that scene in Bladerunner when they can look round corners in photos (also about construction of memory)

in response to And so this is winter at Bandit\'s Cave

elaine: ha ha, I like a bit of pedantry! I had a whole bus held up in Norfolk the otherday while the driver had me up for saying I was giong to walk backwards when I meant back - admirable!

in response to Ali\'s Kebabs

manchesta: up the gary heh!

in response to Chinese New Year

hasslehoff: don't get me started on punctuation elaine. the age old "Eats shoots and leaves" debate...

in response to Ali\'s Kebabs

hasslehoff: he's a country oy at heart ;-)

in response to The Rural Life

elaine: ha ha ha! Urban man looks at a field. That's an animal, Peter. And not even a dog, or anything!

in response to The Rural Life

elaine: I just saw this, it's brilliant. Damn, now I'm hungry. I like menus and also the stuff they put up on the walls, often with promiscuous use of apostrophes. I always think - if in doubt leave it out, and that way it will just die out, but it seems...

in response to Ali\'s Kebabs

hasslehoff: we don't object to a bit of wildlife ;-)

in response to Banksy et al

elaine: yeah, I suddenly wanted to show why it was so well placed, because the close up shows how good it is but not that. What I also havn't shown is that across the road is the big cartoony letters for hackney city farm whaich it contrasts well with.. if I...

in response to Banksy et al

hasslehoff: whilst the first one better from the perspective of composition, the second one shows the work in context. I have seen this piece in various photos but never got a sense of its environs. So, in this sense, i'm glad you posted it here :-)

in response to Banksy et al

elaine: I know, strange isn't it? (I thought 'strange' in a french accent). I got the Izzard in full, but the 'singe' bit was way too long to put here in full, and no bit of it was cuttable. This part reminded me of a dialogue in swinney.org about saying things...

in response to urban orienteering

hasslehoff: i love eddie izzard. the way he goes off on a tangent, and often in french. if you didn't speak french you'd be like "this is shit" but he cracks me up. in a way i think its because he mirrors my own thought processes. It is also surprising that...

in response to urban orienteering

manchesta: i totally agree with you on all points. Being english and having lived in Northern Ireland i can say without a shadow of a doubt to any loyalists reading here that the British people and govt have no interest in your cause. It is even true that most english, scottish,...

in response to Falls Road: Belfast

sine: a view of the torii and the shrine from 1915!

in response to brooklyn botanic garden : april 19, 2005

sine: the presence of a torii signifies a shrine or temple nearby. indeed, there is a shinto shrine dedicated to Inari hidden in the woods behind the torii. here is some info from the site: Torii The Japanese Garden covers an area of about 3 1/2 acres, including the 1 1/2-acre pond....

in response to brooklyn botanic garden : april 19, 2005

elaine: hee hee. yes he does. the glasses give it away

in response to German Cyclist

elaine: I didn't put the second tourist info pic in because obviously it's a crap photo, and then I got waylaid by the whole issue about resizing - but let me just say 2 things. This pic shows 2 salient points about how this has been placed, one is about being...

in response to Banksy et al

The worst: I think my cat got stuck at that exact telephone pole

in response to st louis north to chicago (pt. II)

The best: That looks liek it came from a horror movie or a really bad porno. I think i have seen that place though when i was looking for a place to hide this family for ransom.

in response to st louis north to chicago

scott l.: marc i thought you knew not to go to Cathedral it's scary restricted man full of bad children don't want you getting cut up new you don't run on credit

in response to Guadalajara Centro Graf/Paste-Ups

Bleeagh: Wow - that is impressive! You've obviously got great vision, which proves the adage that equipment doesn't make the artist - skill does. Keep up the great work!

in response to things i meant to say...

fuzzytank: still using my little cannon powershots50 untill i get a new budget. it dosent look like much but it works really well on full manual.
