in response to break time

elaine: liking the title, twitcher pete. and good point, kobe, there clearly is a pet bird. i agree, it's like 'no parking' etc, if there is someone parking there, then there clearly is parking. except this one spot by the river at richmond, which people don't realise is tidal...

in response to Scrawl on the Wall

Peter: viva le CEMENT THING!

God save Ireland: DISBAND THE RUC. These thugs in uniform. Send the English back to sea. Ireland unfree will never be at peace!

in response to Falls Road: Belfast

Jamie: this article has a lot of links to PET BIRD

in response to Bird Watching in Brooklyn

Jamie: Is the sea there because someone left the tap (faucet) on?

in response to Where Does Water Come From?

Peter: today, when i passed the "no parking" sign, still emblazoned with lionel in all his monochrome glory, there was a woman standing in front of it, trying to light a cigarette while staring at lionel with utter confusion. it was a sublime momentary epiphany of the "art" connecting with the...

in response to Lionel Richie Paste-Ups

Peter: nice.

in response to Hands

Peter: kobe: indeed... pet bird is everywhere!

in response to Bird Watching in Brooklyn

Peter: this is totally one of my favorite photos on this site.

in response to build our machines send us to heaven

Peter: also: im pleased with how some of my cameraphone pics are turning out lately. i think im finally getting the hang of what sort of light i need, as well as getting good at tweaking the very limited levels of saturation/exposure. particularly the first two photos...

in response to The Daily Commute

Peter: i dont know, and frankly, i dont want to know either! heh. it was hard enough to get close enough to get a photo of it... blood in public is gross, especially when its in newark.

in response to The Daily Commute

Jamie: Pet Bird rocks

in response to Bird Watching in Brooklyn

Jamie: what happened there?

in response to The Daily Commute

kobe: ive never heard of zoltron, probably cause im not from san francisco, but i m really enjoying his posts.

in response to build our machines send us to heaven

Stacey: I was too long, long time ago. Still has a special place in my heart. :) Keep up the great work

in response to Prospect Heights:

Peter: on the revolving subway-exit turnstyle that i go through every day at the park place 2/3 stop (on my way to the PATH), there is a sticker that says "amplify love, dissapate hate". it never fails to put me in a proper mood for the commute. i also find it...

in response to Revolving Door

kobe: the photo looks as if it says NO Pet Bird. if that was the case, i would have to say that they are very wrong, as there is indeed a pet bird there.

in response to Bird Watching in Brooklyn

kobe: that last photo of the blood is bloody disgusting. i dont even want to know what happened there, mate.

in response to The Daily Commute

kobe: the art is sharp, but i must admit that its the girl who is smoking hot here. now thats my sort of girl.

in response to Untitled

sally: i really hate revolving doors.

in response to Revolving Door

Peter: here's another I found yesterday on the way home:

in response to we told you we didn\'t want war

Jamie: i like this: Punch a crip In the lip and let the true color drip

in response to Crip/Blood Graffiti: Washington Heights

Peter: random tangents are teh spice of life, yo!

in response to Dallas Graffiti Like What!

PRPoet: It's funny to me that I've checked out this site for a while and a lot of peole overlook what this spot is about. I grew up in Humboldt Park and saw things that no one should have to or even want to. When a little kid dies...

in response to Humboldt Park

Peter: im still curious what 5 poppin/6 Droppin means. much respect to all here, but itd be nice if whomever of you knows whats up might take a moment and translate some of these taglines for us, you know, just for curiosity's sake, considering that most of us here are clueless...

Peter: yay! and were glad youre here, btw.

in response to Banksy in NY

elaine: or bender's friend from when they rob banks

in response to Night Walk 2

Peter: the crips/bloods would probably win that one, cause theyre usually packing, heh! its just that... well, you can expect such rants/drivvel from gangbangers, but the endless back-and-forth re: ireland seems particularly maddening lately.

in response to Northern Ireland Memoirs: Part One

elaine: it probably doesn't just look creepy, it probably is creepy. he is creepy, and my guess is he is doing something creepy

in response to we told you we didn\'t want war

Peter: looks like a "cherry picker"...

in response to Night Walk 2

Peter: cool. i just like the blood-splattered bushface photo. it looks creepy.

elaine: we already were... especially by television i didn't think i was bothered if george snagged it, or if oona just got a hiding but slipped in, but i am glad to have the anti war bloke, and he is, it turns out big chummies with tony benn, possibly the best...

in response to we told you we didn\'t want war

Peter: the uk has a much better nomenclature system for its motorways than america does. im sure ours made sense way back when, but since teh nationwide interstate highway program in the 1950s, everything got muddled... and now there are like 10 different ways to name major highways/interstates/parkways/turnpikes/roads/streets/avenues and no one...

in response to Motorway Haiku: UK (Part One)

Jamie: this is true

in response to Motorway Haiku: UK (Part One)

elaine: not as much as you fancy yourself, big boy!

in response to Motorway Haiku: UK (Part One)

elaine: i am loving the hool lately, and what i have noticed is now if it is sunny and people throw shadows, i just see the world as a big hool sculpture. i got that with cezanne when i saw the hills in the south of france too, but this is...

in response to may 05 2005

Jamie: By the way stop stalking me please. You so fancy me.

in response to Motorway Haiku: UK (Part One)

elaine: i could not do pictures. i took my camera - no memory card. i got to the dentiss, 24 hours late. that's the second time this week. there is something awry. 24 hours is less weird than 12, though

in response to colonizing time

Peter: apparently the phrase "bad photo" doesnt exist in your world, hool. i love the one of the guy wit hthe tape in his mouth. and the dog. ...and i gotta admit, you cracked me up, fuzzytank, with your edit :)

in response to Scrawl on the Wall

Jamie: yes, the A1139 (Fletton Parkway) majestically meets the A47 somewhere on the east side of town taking one neatly to Kings Lynn.

in response to Motorway Haiku: UK (Part One)

elaine: hahahahaha. respect. we got respect now. is it because bethnal green is black?

in response to Motorway Haiku: NYC

elaine: i know that particular blue box now you mention it. before my car died and my back banjaxed i used to drive up to brixworth to visit people then hoop over to kings lynn, and i'd see it. i wondered why my shopping addicted friend wasn't appropriately ikea'd up to...

in response to may 05 2005

elaine: some of my favourite domiciles have been slums at the time of living, but i am of that ilk, and maybe i have grown out of it too. when my beautiful faded - grandeur georgian flat in liverpool (UK) was done up i was knife twistingly in the gut jealous...

ballsack: that's kind of beautiful, but really a shame am i naive to think that architecture can give hope and/or change someone's life for the better?

in response to Brownstones in

ballsack: Appreciate the comment, but I hope you weren't totally serious about that. You are ok. Keep hope alive!

in response to Staircase

ballsack: I love how huge that television looks. I don't know if you were trying to send a message with that photo, but it says to me, "TV is everywhere. You can't escape it." That's increasingly true, and I hate it. But that's not to say I...

in response to garbage and colors

Dickriqulous: All due respect to James, but Central Park is truly special. Quite a bit more than "for the tourists." Especially up near the Harlem end, where it is far from a "circus-type atmosphere." Riverside Park is stunning in its own right, but I feel like there was...

in response to Riverside Park
