hool: thanks everyone. the girls in matching saris is from gerrard east, little india. from a few blocks away i saw them run out of a store, play on that concrete beam, then run back in. i was too far away to photograph them. so i sat...

adam: nah.. i used to live in glen rock where i went to h.s. 93-97.. so we used to drive over the bridge (there are only 2 or 3 bridges that lead from bergen county to passaic county, go figure) to buy alcohol and explore the "ghetto".. fun/stupid times :)

in response to paterson factory - may 2002

kc: the croods and the blips? what is the method, anyhow? Has the meaning of these symbols been decoded somewhere on this site? It does look witchy.

in response to Grand Army Plaza

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I love the two little girls in matching colors. The saturation is splendid and sumptuous. And the one with the red brick nearly had me clawing my eyes out so that would be the last image I ever saw (that was actually meant to be a compliment, but it just...

ian: The random entry on the sidebar is my favorite citynoise feature.

in response to Rhine from above

ian: Catherine, Yeah, these are from my dad's archives. '78 was still 4 years before I was born :) Peter, I plan on posting alot, but I'm not sure how off-topic I should wander. Some of them are really people shots -- wonderful people shots -- but with no real 'city' or even habitation...

in response to Night Falls, \'78

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I'd just like to point out that my weird out-of-context posting was in reply to someone ranting about graffiti being the work of satan, which has since been expunged. My feeling is that graffiti is the very definition of what it is to be human, the desire to express yourself,...

in response to Albuquerque Graffiti Flood

DSK1: thats the dumbest question i've ever heard, john. why do people do walk down the street? why do people do the breaking wind? why do people do the wearing of socks under their shoes? sometimes people just do stuff. what you should do is think about how dumb your question...

in response to Albuquerque Graffiti Flood

john: why do poeple do graffiti

Peter: adam: are you from patterson?

adam: oops.. didnt realize kc already posted pics of the falls :)

in response to paterson factory - may 2002

adam: thanksthanks.. paterson is a well of photographic opportunities since the whole city used to be an industrial town and then everything shut down and the city turned to shit sometime in the 70s/80s. for those of you who live nearby, you must check out the waterfalls. i wish i had...

in response to paterson factory - may 2002

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Oh God, I'm having an eighties moment. Any minute I'll break into a Howard Jones song (who, coincidentally, was the first concert I ever went to. Brighton 1984 with Strawberry Switchblade).

in response to Northern Blvd.

NeXT &RaDe: look out for some more broward

Editor:: i will add a link to his site on the about page: www.citynoise.org/about.php

in response to NYC. Home Sweet Hell

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I can't get enough Mitch Waxman either. But for other reasons, I hope. I posted some more of his pics (his name is the link) called Northern Blvd. And there's plenty more where that came from. He's one hard-working artist www.weirdass.net and I can't say enough good things...

in response to NYC. Home Sweet Hell

Peter: yeah. everyone in the city carries some sort of shoulder bag or purse... too much stuff to lug around by hand, heh. i wanted to give this series a break for a while... i just noticed that the lighting looks so different, seasonally, between august and november...

in response to The World Trade Center

elaine: and i do, third it!

in response to NYC. Home Sweet Hell

elaine: heh, i forgot about these. that one from 23 august looks bizarre, with the bright shirts and the shoulder bags, it looks like a weird uniform they all have on

in response to The World Trade Center

elaine: hey vz, i quoted you www.swinney.org/journals/article.phtml?id=3892 also currently hanging in the stephen lawrence gallery in greenwich

in response to abject objects

in response to The World Trade Center

elaine: i do, and i agree.

in response to Forgotten Memorial

Peter: yep, this is about as abject as they come. there are a series of like 25 of these tree-less placques around my neighborhood in brooklyn. i keep meaning to get all of them captured in photos. they deserve at least some sort of recognition, you know...?

in response to Forgotten Memorial

Jamie: fuzzytank, do you have a highres copy of this i could peek at?

in response to sweetness

elaine: suitably abject photo :-(

in response to Forgotten Memorial

elaine: hee hee!

in response to abject objects

in response to abject objects

elaine: rural lad!

GGP: i really enjoyed the Thundercut website; thanks for that tip!

in response to Thundercut

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Did you take these photo's, Ian? Or did I imagine it that you said they are by your Dad? My brain fills in information...or it could be the dirty martinis...

in response to Night Falls, \'78

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I am so in love with these. I love the quality. I'm glad they have that "developed in the '70s" look about them. Freakin' cool.

in response to Guangzhou, 1978

DSK1: thanks for speaking for all graf writers, "nope". thanks as well for alienating graffiti fans by saying trite yet ultimately meaningless things like "people are just afraid of what they dont understand". i dont think anyone is actually afraid of graffiti. and i think plenty of people (here, and in other...

in response to graffiti alley / style in progress \'05

nope..: real writers stay underground.. thats it. the fact is graff will never be legal. "people are just afraid of what they dont understand"

Jamie: It seems that the Ministry for Ordering What Is Right and Forbidding What is Wrong have said "No!"

in response to Guangzhou, 1978

Jamie: i have to say i was kinda shocked to see such a level of violence in Norway. I've always imagined scandinavia to be a much more placcid place, but these photos make Oslo look more akin to Liverpool

in response to Crime in Oslo

Peter: i really like second one. the perspective shots looking up at buildings always catch my eye...

in response to Random N.Y.C photos.

Peter: it was a dark and stormy night...

in response to N.Y.C photo.

Peter: hmm, perhaps not. seems that google doesnt have very good zoomed info/images for china. imagine that.

in response to Guangzhou, 1978

Peter: yeah i was wondering what was going on in the second photo, too. and that first one looks busy- with such a mishmash of architecture. nice! i bet someone with too much time on their hands could find that place on maps.google.com heh.

in response to Guangzhou, 1978

Peter: i agree with jeeff on the scribble horses. nice. i always like the roadway shots too. they make me want to go on vacation.

in response to Night Falls, \'78

Jamie: thanks?

in response to Hong Kong, 1978

Jamie: i wonder what they are all looking at in the second photo. and i wonder wat they're doing now.

in response to Guangzhou, 1978

Jamie: jeef i like that you can spell pterodactyls, so many people can't these days, and it's a crying shame. And i agree with you, they do look like pterodactyls, much more than they do parrots or flamingos. Are you mental elaine? What kind of flamingos have you been looking at?...

in response to Robot Proboscis

Jamie: It'd be nice to see some of your photos of Oslo though Rune instead of stock news images.

in response to Pictures from a drama in Oslo

sultan JAFAR: YEAH..who would have thought....i'm glad peeps are having a discussion about graff and me. I'd have to agree that graff is vandalism but vandalism can be art. & yeah, I haven't bombed in TO for almost 3 years. I don't live there but still, a city of plain concrete is...
