in response to Abandoned Structure, Prospect Park

Peter: well, whats it pump? cause thers no water or resevoirs nearby... maybe there used to be, who knows.

in response to Abandoned Structure, Prospect Park

jen: It looks like adameros said. We have a building like that in our local state park (NY) and it's a pump house.

in response to Abandoned Structure, Prospect Park

Peter: hahahaha lol. sounds like "redneck" or "white trash"

in response to Outdoor Sofas

elaine: see, before all the chav thing took off there was the pikey, which i think, though it is a little different roughly equates to white trash, and now there is this extra division, where the chav as far as i can usefully make out is a pikey with bling. pikeys,...

in response to Outdoor Sofas

adameros: In Portland, Ore. we have buildings like that around the older parts of town. If it's like what we have, it is an old pump house.

in response to Abandoned Structure, Prospect Park

jo: Jeeff, thank you so much for your thorough mini-guidebook of Toronto; I'm printing it out right now so that I can take it with me :) Very visualistic-- I shouldn't have any trouble finding the places you pointed out to me. Man, I hope the Art Gallery of Ontario is...

in response to Toronto for a week

elaine: if i name it can i claim it? it looks like just the sort of gingerbread house i could see myself living in, and such feelgood energy from all that manlove. not completely without precedent to convert - 'cottages' here have been turned into bars and one is an upmarket...

in response to Abandoned Structure, Prospect Park

Peter: "cottaging"? hahahaha!

in response to Abandoned Structure, Prospect Park

Jamie: Hunter we miss you

in response to Every Other Thursday

Jamie: It does look an awful lot like somewhere one might go cottaging (i should imagine)

in response to Abandoned Structure, Prospect Park

Peter: "...there is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge..." --Dr. Gonzo

in response to Every Other Thursday

Peter: well, its very much locked up and inaccessable... though i cant say as much from the surrounding overgrown brush!

in response to Abandoned Structure, Prospect Park

Jamie: and dangerous amounts of ether

in response to Every Other Thursday

Peter: well, then that would require las vegas now, wouldnt it?

in response to Every Other Thursday

Gaz: Is it the kind of place where one might find manlove?

Mike: Hey Peter, Thats funny, I was in Canada while you were drinking Canadian Whiskey. Spooky!

in response to DJ Shuffaluffagus

piranha erem: whats "pikey"?

in response to Outdoor Sofas

piranha erem: i love this series of "faces". someone should make an entry of just faces on things such as this. i would, but i have no "face" photos.

in response to robot building

elaine: there's the pikey/squatter end of the spectrum where you have a sofa outside specifically to sit on despite it getting increasingly rancid and infested - a slovenly take on the notion of gardens 'as rooms'

in response to Outdoor Sofas

piranha erem: i see an "oze 108" tag on that truck, also!

in response to Outdoor Sofas

elaine: cheeky! funny thing though, i can't tell from the test shots if it worked, i think it did, but i have thought that before

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

elaine: huzzah! he fab

in response to robot building

Peter: well, lets see some photos then! :)

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Peter: yeah im totally doing a huge series of photos in/around the yards if the cursed arena plan gets the green light... all put here for prosterity.

in response to Brooklyn Sweat

Peter: weird... but fascinating!

in response to A Found Note

Peter: interesting photos and commentary, jamie... heres to the neighborhood... before it crashes completely!

in response to Every Other Thursday

Jamie: These two fellows are within spitting distance of each other. The neighbourhood inquestion is in dramatic social decline. It's a timeless scenario, which starts with abandoned sofas, matresses and other miscellaenous items of unwated home furnishings; quickly progressing on to car parts and a deadly carpet of used hypodermic syringes....

in response to Outdoor Sofas

elaine: likey.

in response to Outdoor Sofas

elaine: that is kind of weird. it seems to be on some kind of polythene mat on a bed, and there is an orange juice bottle behind for scale... wood?

in response to A Found Note

GGP: that certainly seems to be the direction we're heading in: soul-less and stupid. like the quote at the opening of Wendell Berry's book, Life Is A Miracle: "We are not getting something for nothing. We are getting nothing for everything."

in response to Brooklyn Sweat

Jamie: on a new tangent: here is a photo i found this morning i don't know what it is

in response to A Found Note

Eva: Thanks for recording this gem. I hope the stadium project will go away. After a while, we'll have nothing of character left in this city.

in response to Brooklyn Sweat

ISABEL: or flappie

in response to hackney city farm

elaine: ta, i took the plunge... and being a make do and mend person i used what i had lying around, and today's solvent was whiteboard cleaner which has alcohol and something called alipathic ester, which sounds medicinal.. anyway i gave it a good scrub with the corner of a pillowcase...

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

elaine: nice. little botfaces are everywhere...

Juanted: I always thought when i shoot someone I would be for a very good reason.I thought I'm not going to let anybody cheat me,think there better than me, steal from me.hells no! When my little brother and me was in the alley working on my car these bangers rolled up and...

in response to Humboldt Park

benson: yup- that benson. looks like the post with my with email address got whacked by the oppressive overlords. we're all ninjas here, so i don't know what the fucking problem is. anyway, track me down if you're friend and not foe.

myelectricheart: that fucking sucks. i live in the building thats right behind this alley and i pass through there all the time. i had no idea they were going to do something like this there or i would have went to check it out. :(

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

jeeff: manifest: close. kensington market begins at dundas, one major block north of queen & graffiti alley. the market stretches up to college street. it's another good place to see graffiti/street art, and definitely one of my favourite neighbourhoods. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington_Market)

jeeff: what's regents park like? we have a 'regent park' here in toronto (no doubt yours is the namesake - i grew up in london, ontario, which is even bissected by our own version of the thames, but i digress). toronto's regent park is the site of a huge...
