Previous Day :: Next Day

steelisreal: when i first moved to london i lived in the ghetto, kennington near brixton and oval. after about 6 months i realized that i wanted to live somewhere more fun closer to the nightlife. I found a one bedroom apartment near covent garden and fell in love with...

in response to Worldcup Party

Jamie: Dude it's ok, the site is supposed to resize them on the fly but things have gone a bit shonky for the time being. We can resize your current pics. Just be sure to keep em at 600 pixels wide till we fix shit up, to keep your posts looking...

in response to The Bridges of New York City

Jamie: Umm... Who wrote the submit code? lol ;-)

in response to Philadelphia 19144- Paper cups

Jamie: I love what you've been hitting us with lately. You seem to have a genuine affection for london and thats great. I enjoyed the covent garden stuff. I always like to see the street performers when i'm there, which isn't often anymore. I once bought an awesome bruce lee shirt...

in response to Worldcup Party

steelisreal: ooo sorry about this my pics are huge, didn't realize it was an issue

in response to The Bridges of New York City

Peter: wow, man... wow. your art is great.

in response to night life

thomas: incredible. I'd be out there helping him if I lived within like...2908 miles of him...

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

Peter: word up! dude, we had to change some shit on here re: uploading... would you be able to resize your photos a lil bit and make em around 500-600px wide until we get it sorted? thanks :D

in response to The Bridges of New York City

watcher: looks scary and dark and fun

in response to Lascaux

steelisreal: guess now i will post my other photos of bridges in london, today is unofficial bridge day on citynoise it seems

in response to The Bridges of New York City

sine: dude your art is fucking amazing... my only critique is shouldn't the kanji reflected in the window be reversed...like a mirror image?

in response to all-night ramen shop

Peter: sometimes largeish images get automagically resized. ill make it bigger for you :)

in response to race against time

jeeff: weird, the image is small. well, check out my website for a bigger version if you're interested - www.modernhistory.org

in response to race against time

Peter: the need to look rough on a rough, utilitarian machine is the same aesthetic that drives alot of bike messengers in nyc too... same sort of vibe, i bet.

in response to race against time

Hasslehoff: They swim through the mists of time, cutting a swathe through the filth of temporal particulates thick as quagmire as it simultaneously invigorates and permeates this common epidermis we hold so dear. They sully our whitewashed facades with they onslaught. A torrent of reason and accountability unleashed toward this timid...

in response to Lascaux

Dinglebert: and another thing: everyone knows that homo sapien of 60,000-25,000 years ago (of whom these forms are typical) didn't have written language! Its obviously some communist-academia plot.

in response to Lascaux

Dinglebert: funny. very funny. it is this kind of hooliganism that denegrates the christian morals out society is clinging to for faith. i personally think george bush should punish these cave-vandals. we need to keep our subway tunnels and underpasses beautiful, for all to enjoy.

in response to Lascaux

Peter: cool! i dont get up to the bronx much, unfortunately, but now that warmer weather is coming and i have a speedy bicycle at my disposal, i might make a go of it and get up there and shoot some flicks. have you crossed the aqueduct over the harlem river? its...

in response to The Bridges of New York City

Mike Ruby: Hours indeed! And there is always another one just around the corner to forget. I have a project going where I walk across every walkable bridge in the city and take a train or bus or taxi across every one I can't. It's quite a challenge. Have you...

in response to The Bridges of New York City

Peter: Mike: ahh the Spuyten Duyvil bridge! cant believe i forgot that. ill go add it to this entry ASAP. i used to row under it every day when i was in college. re: the tappan zee... cause its a true hudson river bridge, as opposed to the bayone bridge, etc. the reason...

in response to The Bridges of New York City

Mike Ruby: Oh, and also the bridges that connect Brooklyn and Queens over Newtown Creek (and the one over Jamaica Bay to Rockaway), but if you were to include those, there may be not much justification beyond the political boundary thing to not include the dozens more bridges over the Bronx River,...

in response to The Bridges of New York City

Mike Ruby: Thanks for the collection! You are missing one, if you are meaning to include all bridges that connect boroughs: the railroad bridge just west of the Henry Hudson bridge that carries Amtrak, CSX, and Canadian Pacific trains from Manhattan to the Bronx, Westchester, and points north. Missing only one is...

in response to The Bridges of New York City

hasslehoff: that's a lot of bridges

in response to The Bridges of New York City

Peter: steelisreal: same thing with my treo 600. i dug around on a forum amd found a hacked replacement for the cam software that includes a zoom as well as the ability to remove dark pixels in low-light shots. after doing a little tweaking myself, im finally able to get the...

in response to World Trade Center Stop: Manhattan

Peter: i spent a day on south street once eating cheese-steaks the whole time, back before i was a vegetarian :)

in response to Mosaic, 19147

Peter: thanks for the pic! i think part of why i like it is because its the underdog as far as bridges go in london. everyone loves teh tower bridge, etc... sorta like the brooklyn bridge in nyc... there are 11 bridges going into manhattan but you only ever hear about...

in response to charing cross bridge

steelisreal: i used to have this picture of a guy about to jump off the bridge still trying to find it. sad way to go, me and my mate tried to stop him but we were to late.

in response to charing cross bridge

Peter: anonymous: uh, the charing cross bridge.

in response to Worldcup Party

hasslehoff: Charing Cross Bridge. Peter has a bit of a kink for all things Charing Cross. I'll let him tell the story if he so wishes...

in response to Worldcup Party

watcher: what bridge?

in response to Worldcup Party

Peter: awesome! dude, i wanna see the bridge though! great photos, steelisreal.

in response to Worldcup Party

hasslehoff: there you go peter. you've been waiting years for some photos of charing cross!

norniron: and on the flip side here's an article on Derry's Republican Bogside area.

in response to Ulster Young Militants: Shankhill

random: Wow, unbelievable story! Thank you for sharing it.

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

jamie: nice photos. i'm sure when they erected that thing it was said it was only to be a temporary structure, for the millenium celebrations. The same was once said about the Eiffel Tower though. On a tangent; I visited Paris with my significant other a year or two ago (i...

in response to The Eye

vz: wow.

in response to Pen Cap for Sale

jamie: this made me :-)

in response to Pen Cap for Sale

jamie: i love stuff like this, hidden away far from the beaten track. seen by only the select few who take an initiative to hunt such treasures.

in response to Lascaux

vz: Thank you! Lots more stuff from Philly and the area is definitely in the works. Great site, by the way.

in response to A Tale of Two Cities

vz: This is about a block south of South St., around 8th or 9th St; there is a whole series of them by this artist, ranging in scale from flowerpots to sides of buildings to a half-acre lot filled with mosaic and sculpture -- which is currently in danger of being...

in response to Mosaic, 19147

steelisreal: Re: World Trade Center Stop: Manhattan found out today that my sidekick 2 cam which is proper rubbish has a zoom, but they don.t list it in the manual, had to go on a forum. i am thinking about taking more pics with it they will be distorted just from the crappy...

in response to World Trade Center Stop: Manhattan

Pidge: I love it , fantastic.
