Previous Day :: Next Daytrue rebel: up the continuity irish republican army at least they have not given up the war there trying to finish wat the ira couldnt oglaigh na heireann up the C.I.R.A kilkeel_provo_girl24: the only attitude for irishmen and irishwoman is an attitude of revolt......fcuk all huns..u.t.p skizzle: agreed. i live in NE ptown and unfortunately, lame graff in my neighborhood is not in the slightest bit appealing. one guy scratched "X3" into the front window of a new house being built. it took nearly six months for the property to sell after that. ... Anonymous (dhip-013.east-quad.residences.colby.edu): How about the little bridges over the Gowanus Canal. There's a really great sign on one of them about a ridiculously small fine you have to pay if you go too fast- I think it's maybe $7-$12. I love that bridge. Peter: sure, post em here! check how to upload/post photos at this link:www.citynoise.org/post.php
just upload the photo and you can post it into a comment or entry by copy/pasting the resulting code, you know, the part you'll see with the brackets around it (including hte brackets!) fuzzytank: thats rockin, love the guys in full office wear Mike: I have some recent pictures and I think some smaller ones in the winter of highway, pedestrian, and railroad bridges across the Bronx River in Bronx Park. Interested? kobe: id much rather see the original photo of the bridge than this blurry one. but hey thats just me. kobe: the best part is that you cant even read the freaking sign anymore. its been taken over so thoroughly and with such overkill that it looks useless as both a street sign and as a graffiti spot. kobe: i love where someone above asks does cocaine make it into nyc much? i would have to guess that would be an affirmative. Peter: i went to look for more info on the eyemod and found this"
images.google.com/images?q=eyemo . . . od2&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=wi
heh!
the weird thing is my treo (palm+phone+cam) has a 640x480 vga cam, but i cant get photos this clear on it. oh well! kobe: hey, if you cant breed em, post em up on walls! Peter: word, hool. this is awesome! thanks for posting again :) jayne: nice to see that i am not the only lino lover in the city!
kobe: lol wtf?! kobe: and these are cool by the way! i didnt mean no harm. just saying i dont know what all this is, but the graff is up all heavy and lookin nice. its just like i cant imagine anywhere where one person could rock some shit that hard and it still... kobe: what'd you have a tag party in your attic or something? hasslehoff: i found this today next to one of the laser printers at work:
titi: hi waz up Iam tagging right now write back
christina hernandez: Its bad ass tagging
kobe: Now that's some interesting shit right there. I've gotten so desensitized to all the graf and tag bangers around where I live that its all begun to fade into a blur with all the rest of the messy, sad, and dirty scenery I pass in my neighborhood. You just... hasslehoff: indeed jeeff: never heard of it or him. i'll have to look it up. i'm kind of put off by a lot of things i see in the media about japan/tokyo. it's hard to reconcile my viewpoint of japan as a "home" with the typical western view of it.... half loc: yall niggaz iz hot all up on tv & shit ....(smh) i'm a learnZ u though cuZz , im a learnZ u LoCc....6up crips 19HoOver neighborhoOd Crip...19st...LoCcs in here homie bklyn flatbush ave... Peter: don't worry, we're not going anywhere ;) jeeff: no reliable internet till the 5th of may. siighh.. hasslehoff: sometimes i'm just walkin down the street and some random guys they'll come up and start axing me questions about the colours that i've got on. The angle of my hat. My mothers maiden name. That sorta shit. It's insane. They say stuff like ##"Hey you with the ladies hat... jeeff: wow! these are fascinating. Peter: awesome. hasslehoff: Doesn't come out readable with my nokia. Will perhaps have a go with a real camera at some point :-) Harry P. Ness: You're Wack boss... make some sense! Peter: hahaha, id love to see a photo of that, dude! hasslehoff: When you reach the very bottom of this stairwell, it is proclaimed in large chalked-up letters that "Chloe fucked Chad in this flat" It's been there almost two years, and no one has seen fit to wash it off. Peter: I pass this wall almost every day, on the way home or to the bikeshop, and will make photos of what develops there. i added some stuff of my own yesterday. ill grab some photos of that to. Peter: On the north side of the street... between St. Johns and Sterling. hasslehoff: keep us informed peteyman undahill reprazent: between what and what? Peter: here is my most recent phonecam post. been doing a few more lately... hasslehoff: thanks peter, i can get some quite reasonable results out of my nokia 6230 with a little photoshoppery. Anonymous (ns12.pfizer.com): Nice. Can you post some big images we can use for our desktop patterns? Peter: i love the photo of the library's innards. cool. Peter: what a lucky badass! Peter: dude, thats freaky! that shirt photo deserves its own entry, heh... i love hte campics lately. Peter: rip dondi cia kings! Peter: ahh, the insides of one of nyc's most sketchy night-spots. its always so dark and drunk in there. i love how the flash illuminates all the details and tags that wou wouldnt see otherwise. Peter: sine: i dont have a photo of it online! I should. i know we have some shots of it... if you find em and tell me, ill write up a story about it :D :D Peter: wow, jamie, those are cool. love the first one, the scanned one... Peter: lets see, jeeff! Peter: I like it because, as times pass, only the aesthetic/pretty/postcard-ish moments are preserved... its not often you see such random, candid photos... of people simply walking around, of car crashes... from that period of time. awesome. Peter: gotta echo the aboce sentiments... how in the world did you get away with this? photography in a casino?! or even better, photography of/via/involving their security systems? so sketchy... and thats what makes it so wonderful. thanks! hasslehoff: duh, alcatraz! hasslehoff: wow, wheres that one from? Peter: yay jamie's b/w lowres pics are back! cool, man. that last photo reminds me of this one, from the alcatraz entry:
elaine: nice and gloomy does it hasslehoff:
camphone pic of a found note elaine: it's way noisy by comparison to swinney, i bin there lately and that sounds mucho well carpeted by comparison hasslehoff: proposing on a bench. that is true bench love hasslehoff: thats some noisy ol shizzul right there. fonem! sine: where is the bench from straus park where you proposed to me!?!? sine: mad props to the originator DONDI! sine: wow. these are so illegal. i love it. sine: if this site has any kind of soundtrack, it's white noise. Jamie: also: I took a few other photos on that day along the river. On my way to my bench I spotted a tattered white shirt that had been deliberately hoisted up into a tree. A crude wooden frame had been fashioned to hold its shape as it swang in the... hasslehoff: man, this is highly original and the kind of stuff that keeps me coming back here again and again. elaine: Did you do this in a secrety spyish way? These geezers don't like their gaffs being photographed, do they? Or is that just in the movies? And look! Contact sheets! Are you from the olden days, a time traveller? The pics look swimmy and mysterious, as if it should be... Anonymous (pool-162-83-169-233.ny5030.east.verizon.net): what a badass. elaine: Blimey, d'you think? I can usually tell off kids and teenagers ok, but am more intimidated I suppose by adults, and also I have a strong revulsion factor for street drunks, but I do know people who are a lot kinder than me homer: Mmmmm, goldin... elaine: I want to live in this future. I will need a completely new wardrobe. And a face lift. And a haircut. And SHOES. I think retrofuturist shoes, like maybe big platform shoes with stacks in different colours and cut out stars or hearts on the tops. Obviously heavy use... elaine: in the last one somehow they look like they are cuddling. it is great when you find a hook in to old pictures. i read an article once by a woman who had collected postcards of paris street scenes, and in one of them a man is arranging his flies... elaine: these look like jean paul gaultiere costumes for the fifth element or something! coool as mints vz: ok, this makes me feel kind of stupid-- there's clearly a glaring contradiction in my last comment.
i wouldn't've beaten those guys senseless, i would've... implored them to respect the homeless guy's dignity. yes. jeeff: what's SoMa? jeeff: the cells have the exact same paint job as my apartment in tokyo. and i have the photos to prove it. The One Young Son: Nice use of light. Anonymous (dhcp-hss231-97.sfsu.edu): i love the old car crashes, the police in the background gives me the shivers. very ghost like. :) Anonymous (dhcp-hss231-97.sfsu.edu): Reminds me alot of Bret Eston Elis novels. Public Administration: the child is standing in a great postion, whould have been better if the sun was in a different postion. Previous Day :: Next Day |
