Previous Day :: Next Day

moebius rex: oh, i love this building. my good friend Kendal lives just a few blocks from it. the last couple of times i've visited nyc, i've stayed with her. i quickly developed a ritual of starting each day by walking about fifteen minutes to a cafe--Ozzie's, i think--for my morning cup...

in response to Park Slope

Peter: digicams help you capture that strange world that, although easy to visualize in your mind's eye at times, doesnt translate well to being captured in a hard-copy medium.

in response to Spraycan Science on 107th Street

egenus: ahh delicious irony.

in response to Two Birds with One Stone: Detroit in New York

egenus: That is some phat graffiti. People around here are no where near as creative. We just get the ironic "Jesus Loves You" vandalism.

in response to under the freeway

egenus: God I love this. This is why I need a digicam so bad.

in response to Spraycan Science on 107th Street

egenus: Flexible. That's never a bad thing. :)

chucksspeed: amped kickin it imagine a line worker - ten hour shifts hanging the same trim piece every 68 seconds. trim takes 12 seconds to hang; 56 seconds left to do whatever can be done in less than a minute. in the gaps - we listen to the rhythm... industrial rhythm - becomes...

in response to i am Detroit

karma: this is a beautiful picture, hool.

in response to a parking lot at night

Peter: for 8 years, my love for NYC has been unshakable; after spending the weekend in Detroit, though, its as if I've taken on some mysteriously sultry new urban lover, a thickly populated inner-city mistress linked only to my current city-love via interstate, a lover that smells like river, malt-liquor, and...

in response to i am Detroit

Peter: it looks alot like the old NY Cancer Home up on 106th and CPW, near where i live, in Manhattan- the architecture is very similar. Also similar: this past winter, they began renovating it into luxury condos... after it sat empty, abandoned, and squatted for decades.

in response to Park Slope

otisbirdsong: This is the Montauk Club, it has (or had) a great bowling alley in the basement that used small balls and minature pins with a manual ball-return system. I remember as a kid working setting up the pins with a friend for some party. It was super hard work...

in response to Park Slope

Peter: wow, so many good submissions while I was away this weekend!

in response to from the streets of toronto

Peter: I'm liking the black-and-white that youve been posting lately...

in response to Beat-up Derelict Buildings in my Neighbourhood

Peter: wow, thats a nicely blurred shot, for a digicam.

in response to Multi-Storey Carpark* Entrance

Peter: black and white, colour, all good photos my man.

in response to may 26

Peter: I used to live in Bay Ridge; parts of Brooklyn are really pretty...

in response to Park Slope

trouble: notice anything missing? no vinyl flooring! hardcore. even detroit pulled out the mats after 20 minutes or so.

in response to Park Slope

trouble: i've read this several times, each time i find something new to relate to it or stories i've been told that validate some of what you said in this piece. also makes me think of the White Stripes songs 'The Union Forever' and 'The Big Three Killed My Baby'...

in response to Motor City

Peter: and that girl in the pink sweatsuit? aww, damn! her moves were out of this world. the old-school b-girl with the white gloves did know how to rock a party, though.

in response to DEMF, 2002

trouble: yeah! peter, she's yours and her little friend is mine! i'll also take the old-school lady in the red jumpsuit who threw down the serious old school moves. the dreads, the jumpsuit... hold me!

in response to DEMF, 2002

Peter: you live in nyc?

in response to The City of Show and Tell:

Peter: digital edifices, binary buildings.

in response to harsh light on a glass building

Peter: hey, this is really a great shot! i live in new york city, so of course i have a soft spot for the b-boy scene here. i did just get back from demf, where i took tons of pop-n-lock photos which i will of course post here in the next day...

in response to harsh light on a glass building

joyfullgirl: the building looks almost computer generated.

in response to harsh light on a glass building

joyfullgirl: I love it. I feel that way every day, because the city is my home, and the only place that allows me to hide from everything, and watch a million people go about their day. I am sad that I will have to leave it soon.

in response to The City of Show and Tell:

joyfullgirl: very impressive. Riot. digital cam? I just got some interesting film that has all the blues stand out beautifully.

in response to Open Spaces and Inbetween Places:

joyfullgirl: I remember that. I miss it.
