kc: ah, how nice to have patti smith in my head....how come they don't take women's shoes and toss 'em over the lampposts? just noticed the liner's missing in one of the last ones...thought of Judy Garland for some reason. Anyhow, thanks for the explanation...

Jehan: this is not new in amsterdam, as i am researching book plates from the 1600s with views of the city at that time and there seemd to bee public urnals throught the city.

in response to Public Urinals: Amsterdam

CarlosF: Creo que la Coca-Cola debería retribuir los beneficios que recibe de la imagen de este hombre excepcional, de tal forma que no sólo pida apoyo económico para terminar esta magnífica obra sino también buscar asesoría técnica en ingeniería estructural para rescatar este monumento al espíritu humano y evitar que sea...

in response to Your Enemies Friends

Anonymous (216-211-206-26.firstgate.net): i like your pics especially the first one. It was an interesting contrast of the grafitti (close up) and then the buildings in the distance.

in response to Coney Island Low

deshant: this looks so much like Baptista-era Cuba it's remarkable. The attention to keeping a clean restaurant is great although I wish the dude tossing the salad would mop his brow. Not the dressing I asked for

Peter:

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Peter: some of the early ones looked like printouts. but the b&w ones posted above are defintely professionally-done vinyl stickers (and they stick quite firmly, i might add).

in response to Rainy Day Bird

Peter: laura:the wonderwheel has cars (the inner ones) that move on a short track and swing out quickly as the wheel turns- its scary, especially if you dont expect it!

in response to Coney Island Low

Peter: thanks for those links, jeeff. that stuff is really interesting...

in response to secluded graf

Peter: that one looks like someone was standing there in their blue shoes, eating skittles, and just disappeared, leaving the shoes/wrapper behind.

una arquitecto: Lo primero enhorabuena a Don Justo por su habilidad y perseverancia. Ya quisiéramos muchos. Claro que construir "a ojo de buen cubero" se ha hecho en todas la épocas, y en cierto modo se sigue haciendo:) ¡¡¡pero con una laaaarga experiencia de años aprendiendo el oficio!!! Construir un edificio bajo el...

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

elaine: but thanks for the heads up, the fact i am too dim to work the damn things notwithstanding, it was fun trying, but not being strongly motivated probably aided in my failure - if i want to do something to a picture and it's in my mind's eye how i...

in response to secluded graf

jeeff: yeah i like fish-eyes. it's the regular pics that i usually want to straighten out, the ones with just a little distortion.

in response to secluded graf

elaine: not that i am not interested in other possible narratives of abandoned shoes, cos i am...

in response to dancing barefoot

elaine: well, obviously i looked at the insane one first, but it's really insane, so then i tried downloading the gizmo, but sadly i am too insane to do it right and it didn't work, so then i followed the instructions for doing it by hand, and the stuff right in...

in response to secluded graf

elaine: cripes! milk an cookies keepin you up!

in response to DJ Shuffaluffagus

elaine: it's a fiction - as close as i get to fiction. the shoes were where they were on the street, but they were near 'god worshippers' who often leave stuff out for folk to have, very often shoes, and the 'drunk' written in the cement was the next picture i...

sine: rumor has it Disney just bought a chunk of the island.

in response to Coney Island Low

joey: imagine that! a road running through the cemetary. remember the twilight zone episode where the kid talked to his dead grandmother on the phone becuase the downed telephone line lay across her grave? must be a sppoky street to drive on ...

in response to Graveyard Train

kc: nice shots. I like it out there, too...I guess it's a mess but it feels so much better than the supposed renewal of the Cyclones stadium, even if I love baseball and would love to go and feel the sea breeze...

in response to Coney Island Low

kc: this is intriguing. are the shoes dancing? what's happening in the middle? whose shoes are they? the shoes are resting while the dancer is dancing? the shoes left behind while something more dire happened? are they the photographer's shoes? Is this a narrative or a found moment? etc. it...
