in response to Google Sightseeing

elaine: i doodled the character on the listings page, scanned it in, pulled in my watery reflections of the gasworks a few times, flipping them upside down and left to right, made them a bit transparent, did a very dodgey selection of the character, with the magnetic lassoo, got bored and...

in response to dreamynoise

piranha erem: wow i feel like i have walked all around that neighborhood after reading all of this.... here is hoping the bad plan doesnt happen.

in response to Atlantic Yards

elaine: well, the gmail address seems to work...

in response to voo-voo is missing

piranha erem: i sure like that skull graf on the bottom photograph.

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

piranha erem: elaine this is nice! i would also like to see more art like this. how do you make it in photoshop?

in response to dreamynoise

piranha erem: so pretty! it makes me feel like i am travelling. the sky on the right side looks like fire!

in response to Airplane Wing Sunset

piranha erem: lol, wtf is 'voo voo', or a 'vision vb23dus04'?

in response to voo-voo is missing

piranha erem: hippies are always weird, man.

in response to the hutch condos

MoeRex: I spent some time in the Toronto area many years ago...and having said that, I would never have guessed that this was shot there. Looks more like something you'd see in someplace like Louisiana.... Love the high-rise building sketches on the garage door.

in response to the hutch condos

GGP: don't let them mow your lawn against your will, Jeeff! "a mowed lawn is an ecological wasteland"--butterflies, bees, and other pollinators love "weeds" whatever happens lawnwise if your life, i love these shots, this ambiance. BTW, my partner & I are getting a puppy soon and we seriously considered naming him JEEFF! we...

in response to the hutch condos

Peter: fascinating! I see so much green, too. geez, i really need to check out toronto sometime.

in response to the hutch condos

Peter: hahahaha! reminds me of this one :)

in response to voo-voo is missing

elaine: do! and report back, and don't forget to take your camera with you when you dream

in response to dreamynoise

elaine: nice i like that it looks like the earth is on fire - despite the horror of reality i still like fake apocalypses

in response to Airplane Wing Sunset

GGP: I'm going to dry my hair with a pillowcase later on and see what happens. ;)

in response to dreamynoise

elaine: GGP, i did it in response to your comment about cleaning my camera with a pillowcase

in response to dreamynoise

GGP: this is cool!

in response to dreamynoise

Peter: heh, no i think its great! i just couldnt tell if it was a tv listing or a page from time out, but now that i see teh challens up top, i guess that answers that... ahh what i wouldnt give to be watching tv at home right now, heh.

in response to dreamynoise

elaine: eek! don't look! remember, i was planning a miserable day in, and had ringed everything in the slightest bit watchable... ok, as well, i have a weakness for teen soaps, you caught me out

in response to dreamynoise

elaine: and i think that the more interesting responses to something like that come out over some time, and like you say, you need to digest for a bit. some of the most fantastic cultural products come out of the longer look

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

Peter: is that a television listing? with certain programming circled? interesing...

in response to dreamynoise

elaine: note to jeeff, no glue here at all, just biro scanner and photoshoppe

in response to dreamynoise

elaine: hee hee! by commission for citynoise!

in response to dreamynoise

Peter: heh, ok :) see, i could go on and on and on about it for days... and i try to avoid that, the sort of scatterbrained yammering that comes from not yet completely digesting a sutiation. but its nice to knwo i can here, wheneveri feel like it!

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

elaine: no, and you did just say something both real and new about it, which belies your breeziness. it's not that i think you should say anything more, just that you did

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

Peter: wow elaine! thats some nice stuff. id be super glad to see more of this type of composition anytime!

in response to dreamynoise

Peter: i guess that was just my nice way of saying that ive said about all i wish to say about it. at the risk of sounding obtusely melodramatic, its not something i personally enjoy analyzing, discussing or thinking about in any way beyond the cursory. but at least i dont...

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

elaine: well it looks to me that not everything that can be said about that day has been said, not by a long way

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

Peter: i recall taking a photo of a glass door that had a hastily written sign reading "closed due to national emergency". reflected in the door's glass was tower 2 falling. and smoke. lots and lots and lots of smoke. im not sure i really want to see that again. seeing it...

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

elaine: i think not developing them is a perfectly valid response, by the way

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

Peter: it probably is, and everything that can be said about that day has been said, so ill just leave it at that. i wrote a post about it, and since then, have avoided fretting about it too much, beyond the occasional photos and stories and such.

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

elaine: i don't believe you 'never got around' to developing them, i think it's deeper than that

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

Peter: oh i had no qualms about taking them... i take photos of everything. i just never got around to developing them. im not sure i wanna look at the photos i took. but i do know right where the undeveloped roll is, and i figure ill get it processed one...

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

GGP: why did you not develop them, Peter? I ask because my internal reaction to taking pictures on that day was very ambivalent. I felt ashamed, somehow, for shooting pictures while this unbelievable thing was happening. Like a voyeur or a user. Yet somehow, taking the pictures felt like the only...

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

GGP: YEAH, when they invent that, it's all over.

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

Peter: ggp: i would love to see those. ive yet to develop my photos from that day.

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

elaine: ha ha, that's me, that is!

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

elaine: blimey, that's quite a picture you paint, how extraordinary and apocalyptic

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

GGP: remember Till the End of the World, the Wim Wenders film where everyone goes around watching their dreams on video, so enthralled that they ignore their waking lives?

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

GGP: this building has bizarre and complex meaning to me, as I stood in front of it on 9/11 and from there watched the twin towers fall while fighter jets flew low and at truly terrifying speed around the nearby Williamsburgh Clocktower. I have always loved the lettering and the color,...

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

elaine: cooool. quite beautiful

in response to Samuel Underberg Building

GGP: Atlantic Yards will be the next Atlantis-- a former city buried beneath the sea of something else, sea of what comes next.

in response to Atlantic Yards

elaine: yeah, that's what i thought. suits my mood today. luckily the old (gainsborough?) b/w film of jane eyre with orson welles is on tv, so now my day has turned out so blue, at least i can lie on the sofa with my rusty tears in front of a quality...

in response to seaside rust

elaine: and dreamynoise

in response to Commuters, WTC Station

elaine: actually i cheated a little, like most days i eat out i had my camera but greedily started eating before i could get a snap... however, this one day, at hackney city farm, no less, i was with my brother who had the same handsome breakfast and managed to restrain...

in response to Memorial for Mr. Smith

Peter: cool, marky mark! that sounds like a crazy place to play, as a kid.

in response to Doppelganger

Peter: they got the design to wrap around the building really well!

in response to Graffiti Building

Peter: the rust runoff itself looks like tears... pretty.

in response to seaside rust

Peter: piranha erem: yes, most of the people in the areas surrounding this spot are against it... the plan involves exercising eminent domain to force many people form their existing homes, which will allegedly be assimilated into the construction project. GGP: yeah, me too... if you come across any additional links that...

in response to Atlantic Yards

GGP: this is so great! I love the green Unterberg building! I love this edge-space so close to home. I will miss it when it's gone.

in response to Atlantic Yards

piranha erem: indeed! thats why i come back every day, lol.

in response to Memorial for Mr. Smith

piranha erem: that golden colour in the sky is my favourite colour.

in response to kitchen window sunset

piranha erem: such lovely growth in an area of such dilapidated urban sprawl!

in response to Railyard Botanicals

piranha erem: wow! the trains and the graffiti! this is nice. i am reading the links at the end and i would have never imagined the strife. i assume that most area residents are against the development?

in response to Atlantic Yards

GGP: thanks, elaine. hope your day unbleaks in the blink of an urban eye.

in response to Railyard Botanicals

GGP: glad you posted this, because it's one of those nice collaborations between sky & human-made gunk, which is always a most pleasing compensation.

in response to kitchen window sunset

elaine: so pretty. you brought something lovely into my bleak day, thanx

in response to Railyard Botanicals

elaine: well i wasn't gonna put it in because of the bloody smudges getting me down, but it was so beautiful it seemed a shame

in response to kitchen window sunset

Peter: the photo is lovely, and i like the description too... especially the part about telecom equipment dignifying an otherwise unremarkable building, heh heh.

in response to kitchen window sunset

GGP: nice sun. nice set.

in response to kitchen window sunset

elaine: ...and here it is

in response to empty reference repeat

elaine: citynoise is an alternate reality

in response to Memorial for Mr. Smith

jeeff: you could create a whole alternate city of los angles. who says citynoise is limited to reality?

in response to Memorial for Mr. Smith

elaine: hee hee! 'chemically delicilious'

in response to Doppelganger

joey: there maybe others articles for los angles, or the hell's angles. both are easily mis-spelled

in response to Memorial for Mr. Smith

joey: dang... like a toon

in response to Graffiti Building

Bleeagh: Heh - it's weird to see you call me 'Bleeagh' in your post. Feel free to call me Mark, my friend! The building in the foreground is what's left of a large tannery complex. The rest has been torn down to make way for more ultra-modern condos, much like the...

in response to Doppelganger

ea: they mark the spot where he stood for the album cover photo, which is why happiness is irony. or maybe hope - a pushing forward into ether. it's good to start such a journey with such a sendoff.
