in response to Brooklyn Sweat

Anonymous (cpe-68-173-202-245.nyc.res.rr.com): the booths had the systems long before the film ever came out. They had a RR Clerk burn to death in their booth when some scumbag doing a holdup torched the booth. It was sometime after *that* I think that was Elderts Lane on the J.

GGP: I gave yesterday the boot.

in response to dancing barefoot

ea: languid heat breeze hangs over me like bowery electric slide down coastlines, conscious of your paces a pause, a gasping imminence every minute wisp kiss slips away

in response to sweetness

Reality: To everyone that believes white people are living in Humboldt Park for the fun of it, get real. It is not by choice. Why would anyone choose to put themselves in an area of random gunfire, fights, drugs, hypodermic needles, and hatred? If I had a choice I think it'd...

in response to Humboldt Park

Peter: thats fine by me

Peter: it always bothered me that the real money trains dont look nearly as cool as the ones in the movie. remember when the mta installed fire-extinguisher systems in every token booth cause of that movie? i used to see the money train cross the broadway bridge almost every day, on the...

in response to Vacuum Train

deshant: like the ever-fleeting career of wesley snipes and woody harrelson, the money train is frequently mistaken for one of the vacuum trains. until you see the armed guards peeking through one of the windows trash talking about catching a turnstile jumper across the face with the butt of a 12-gauge

in response to Vacuum Train

Peter: ahh the ever fleeting money train! also: www.nycsubway.org/cars/revrider.html

in response to graffiti alley / style in progress \'05

AirdrieMK: Your last comment about the North stipulates what many people think as being stereo type due to the past troubles. Normally it is due to igmorant people - eg on a recent visit to England I had the misfortune of sharing a taxi with a public school girl type women,...

elaine: that's exciting. i like things like that, though i do wonder why. i also like how the driver seems to have a tudor ruff and is looking at a cartoon of a ghostie with his hands up... or is that just me?

in response to Vacuum Train

ella lumpkins: This is really amazing... There is nothing like this where I live (in Louisville KY) althought there are buisnesses that have to get their walls repainted monthly because a lot of people have gotten into street art the past few years outside of writing on mailboxes and payphones. Thanks for putting this...

in response to graffiti alley / style in progress \'05

elaine: yep. it is a blackberry cordial and not at all acidic. there was a time when i could hurl for britain, and i found most drinks would get acidic in the stomach, but not ribena, and it would taste the same coming up as when it went down

in response to Pet Bird, Bright and Shiny

elaine: yuk, the brown spittle! yuk!

elaine: very roman

in response to Pet Bird, Bright and Shiny

in response to Rural Schoolin\'

elaine: hah, yes, probly. just goes to show my natural inlinations are more solvent based!

in response to graffiti alley / style in progress \'05

elaine: maybe. it actually could be the lens, and just a recalcitrant stain - hard to tell eith these timy lenses

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Peter: i wouldnt reccommend water, but some cleaning with denatured alcohol or methanol can work wonders... cleaning without damaging the electronics! i dropped mine and broke the screen, but will be taking delivery of a newer/better model this week! that means higher-res shots :)

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

elaine: mine has a persistent smudge which i think, horribly, is in the digital works. my friend ian helpfully suggested i wash it under the tap, but i don't think that was the advice i will follow. i keep using it, but the smudge bothers me, and i mean to get...

GGP: i grew up going to the central park zoo. one of the best things there--I think it's gone now--was a big blue cement whale whose gaping mouth you could walk into. Inside, where the whale's throat would be, was a huge goldfish tank. It was very cool. My only bad...

in response to West Kortright Centre Pet Parade

GGP: yes, yummy taco, but they're so NOT yummy I didn't want to give them free advertising.

in response to Pet Bird, Bright and Shiny

Peter: also: jeeff- great shots man... im really psyched that you shared this with us. superlative!!

in response to graffiti alley / style in progress \'05

Peter: im wondering if "that sweet smell" isnt in reference to something completely different than paint fumes ;)

in response to graffiti alley / style in progress \'05

Peter: its funny how all us city folk automatically assume the worst situation surrounding a photo like this :)

in response to Rural Schoolin\'

Peter: ill try, though lately no photos for me, as my camphone is out of commision for the moment :(

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Peter: yay! i love going to the central park zoo to see the alpacas and other animals there in the kids/petting part. you never get too old for that sort of stuff :) and rick the beetle, winning hte "ringo star" award totally cracked me up. thanks!

in response to West Kortright Centre Pet Parade

Peter: occasionally, the mta runs old "vintage" trains, like on weekends in the summer, or for special outings. ive always wanted to ride in one of the old ones with the cane seats and wooden interiors...

GGP: his feet are trademarked and I could not obtain permission to shoot them.

in response to Gas Pump

in response to West Kortright Centre Pet Parade
