Jamie: kill them. with a knife.

in response to Raccoons, Cute or Dangerous?

chris: you all need to relax. stop being so old and chill. its fun stuff, they obviously know the dangers.

in response to Victoria Day Fireworks

Condo nuisance: Wow... great testimonials! I say, get rid of them any way possible - before they take over. Having an open garbage dumpster at these condos doesn't help. They eat then live in our our garage storage cabinets. I'll start with ammonia. If that doesn't work, I'll move!

in response to Raccoons, Cute or Dangerous?

chiamattt: Thanks dude. I appreciate the feedback! So far, Seoul has produced some wonderful walking this spring...though I am quite sure i'll be snapping less during the rainy season and the brutally hot/humid summer months. Boourns.

in response to Compilation Part Six

colavitos ghost: i love the post. but is it just me or is that graf pretty wack?

in response to Mailbox Timelapse

Jamie: Jesus died for me? Should I thank him? I like her tshirt almost as much as i like the but man tshirt in your previous post. There are so many positive things to say about each of these photos I don't know where to start. Dirty Panda? Yay. Random red...

in response to Compilation Part Six

Jamie: LULZ. Bittermuch? I particularly like how $tay->single is perfectly valid PHP syntax for calling the public method 'single' of an object called 'tay'.

in response to Just Divorced

john: wow...smart people

in response to Victoria Day Fireworks

chiamattt: In all honesty, I didn't notice 'butman' until I looked through the pics at home. It was quite a surprise!

in response to Compilation Part Four

chiamattt: Thanks dude

in response to Compilation

anon (CPE001731affc09-CM0017ee54e572.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com): yeah, hurting others while enjoying a pretty lite show....NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THAT

in response to Intrepid in Repairs

Peter: hahaha, i always love random one-off things like this that people manage to capture and share... though the shouting at women isnt all that classy. also: i like his logic: $tay-> single! stay happy. BUY ART WORK!

in response to Just Divorced

Peter: hmm, i guess i got thrown by the part where you said "I know that cant be a Coupe piece in BK. no one ever said he was from brooklyn. this is a relatively famous spot, and there are writers up there from around the world... anyway...

in response to Graf on the Tracks, Pt. 3

anon (74-128-38-7.dhcp.insightbb.com): ^^yes i realize that. My point was being that Coupe is a Midwest writer. Its not common to see that in BK unless its on a fr8. Let alone someone to post it. His shit is mostly in Ohio and Kentucky.

in response to Graf on the Tracks, Pt. 3

Peter: yes... did you notice where it says "louisville, ky... 2002" directly above the coupe piece? i suppose even graf writers go out of town from time to time, you know?

in response to Graf on the Tracks, Pt. 3

anon (74-128-38-7.dhcp.insightbb.com): Coupe is from Louisville not Brooklyn. I know that cant be a Coupe piece in BK.

in response to Graf on the Tracks, Pt. 3

Jamie: Is this mural new? It's very clean and tidy

in response to Luis Ramirez Mural

Jamie: ah, the benefits of shooting raw. I've somehow missed this "Compilation" series somehow. I really like the photos you've been posting lately, they're both technically accomplished and inspiring. Good work chap.

in response to Compilation

Peter: thats a great mosaic mural... never seen one like that before! what a sad story, though... was it this louis ramirez? www.deathrow-usa.us/luis_ramirez.htm Luis Ramirez

in response to Luis Ramirez Mural

Jamie: Mural schemes suck more often than not, but most of these are pretty good. Nice photos. Thanks for sharing them @Picky Lurker: I wouldn't like to speculate on any "view fixing". Sometimes posts can accrue lots of views without collecting many comments. This most often happens when something randomly scores highly...

in response to The Murals of Leslieville

^_^: That's definitely one way to get around copyright infringement issues!

in response to Compilation Part Four

Jamie: photo-of-the day!

in response to Compilation Part Four

Disgusted!: I live in an apartment building on the third floor and a raccoon (or raccoons) have been using my balcony as their latrine. When I cleaned it up, I used a tarp, gloves and industrial garbage bags to throw it away. I cleaned off the balcony, and this...

CE: I miss having my camera with me at all times. It broke a couple weeks ago and is still in the shop and I might not be able to afford getting it fixed. I hate not having it because spring is my favourite time for picture taking!

in response to No Parking

Peter: not one but two NY shirts, heh... the shot with the frayed wire is cool... there are a few stainless steel fences like the one in that shot in my neighborhood... one of them is shiny enough to take a reflected self-portrait in the mirror-like round finials on top... which...

Jamie: I think I need bigger pockets.

chiamattt: oh. the mushrooms were awesome. It's a crying shame they only gave us two.

in response to Compilation Part Four

Mo: Newark was my home..1958-1970. Grew up at 63 Mercer Street, Scudder Homes Projects - and a project it was, but it was home. Schools attended: Quitman, Robert Treat. If it wasn't for having close family ties..don't know if my life would be the same. Blessings to Newark.
