in response to JA: A True NYC King

Paul G: Your pics are your own. If they make you happy, that's enough. That you choose to share is a better thing still. I could say: "Use the flash, and under-expose the shot; you'll have greater contrast," or, "Shoot from a lower position: you'll make the toaster feel...

in response to street antiques

Peter: holy fuck, those are some cool photos!!

in response to My window on the Chrysler building

StripesA4: yea im just a advid observer of the underground scene in NYc. NYc doesnt wanna be seen as a gang city even though it obviously is. theres over 57 gangs represented in major numbers in rikers ilsand alone. A doc would blow this city wide open.

in response to GANGS ON NYC

vz: Post No Bills.

boston baller: the sneakers in boston are territory markers if you see to many one one line then you better know where you are.

matt ashe: here in ayer mass we have a ton of shoes on wires around here it means the area isnt safe

in response to Shoes

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: This picture makes me very sad. All the bottles are empty.

in response to Booze

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Thanks for the info. I hope that someone does see the pictures and conditions improve for patients and staff alike. As a kid I lived down the road from a mental hospital in Kent. It was a glorious, Burtonesque Victorian building which I fantasised about getting into and having adventures...

in response to st clement\'s from the hip

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: The funniest thing was I was trying to find a picture of a yuppie dumpster diving for a (crap) concept I was working on (I'm a creative at an advertising agency, booo, evil, sssss...I know...) and of course I couldn't find a thing. And here it was the whole time....

jeeff: with a tiny bit of work you could make the sign say "welcome to asinine lock"

in response to Welcome to Ashline Lock

jeeff: haha, boy i love that nun.

in response to june 23 2005 toronto

jeeff: very cool. it reminds me of the front of the national museum of emerging science and innovation in tokyo at night. too bad i don't have any good photos to show what i mean. oh well, guess i'll have to go back.

in response to Hayden Planetarium

jeeff: nice

in response to Haiku

adam: looks more like multiple exposure or time lapse with you turning around

in response to real fast

jeeff: haha, nice commentary. i agree about the spots on the window, they are a happy accident.

in response to Balloons, sun and spots.

elaine: after some prevaricating i finally got the clockface - top photos here

in response to empty reference repeat

elaine: thanks catherine. it is a mental hospital which i attend in my capacity as a mentalist. in the first place, i expect there is a legitimate issue to do with patients and privacy, but of course, i am totally not interested in taking pictures of people anyway. secondly, i think...

elaine: ta, the light is fabulous at the moment, whenever it is 'on'

in response to london fields

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Where is St. Clements? And why aren't you allowed to take photos? Stolen images or not, these are really interesting shots.

in response to st clement\'s from the hip

sincere: finally, more graff

in response to Haiku

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Sine, these pictures are really cool. Makes me feel all 'Logans Run" or something. I love the classic NY buildings seen through the glass and steel.

in response to Hayden Planetarium

GGP: the perspective of that second shot is wonderful. I like the shadows, too.

in response to london fields

sine: ...from my entry on the hayden planetarium.

Peter: theres a TON more to "dis web site" than just gangs/HP/racism. take a look around. this is one of thousands of posts that all cover very different topics.

Boring White: To "Whites in HP" I too live in HP and agree that if you mind your own business, most will not bother you. With that said, I feel that it is my neighborhood too (I pay taxes) and I invite my friends over. I am not going to be...

elaine: i just wish i could take photos there legitimately, and not have to hide the camera. it's a bit random but you get the drift. check out the clock with no hands

in response to st clement\'s from the hip

Peter: exactly... i was thinking this would fit in better with the shankhill road thread better than anything else...

in response to Fuck England

Peter: nice! elaine, i like it when you shoot photos like this. the jauntiness of them- especially the angular forms in the first two- gives a real energy to them that makes them unique and interesting. its like theyre walking. cool...

in response to Thorndale, Texas

anas: So, at $2.50/gallon, on average, that's about two gallons. That motorbike probably gets about 75 miles/gallon, so that would add up to around 150 miles, I'd say. You can surely see alot in 150 miles of American randomness. Have a few $$ on me, too, trekker!

in response to Thorndale, Texas

Jamie: also: paul - have $5 from me

in response to Thorndale, Texas

Peter: i think this sort of journey is a natural human urge. though i didnt get to meander as much as i would have liked, i drove across america in 2002, and it was great- i had always wanted to do that. heres to doing it via motorbike, though... thats like 100x...

in response to Thorndale, Texas

Jamie: Wow, i've aften felt the need to do a similar such thing. though in a vw camper van. and across europe. maybe - one day - i might just do it.

jamie: Yeah, they're from my Nokia 6230, this lock is at the end of my much fables think walk. This was probably be the last time i will visit this place. It's where i grew up. It's where i used to run to when things got too tough. But times have...

in response to sugar loaf walk

McGinley: My interest in the Bogside Area is strictly ancestral... I am confused at some documents ive seen. It shows Stanleys Walk, Bogside, Derry. So is Stanleys walk part of Bogside area. If anyone has pctures of that area I would love to see them.

HCHS: I went to high school with Sane (aka David Smith) the rumor was that they found his body in the Hudson river. If you are really interested in Sane's stuff you should get your hands on some Hunter College High School yearbooks circa 1987/1988. He covered the schools yard for...

in response to los angeles 2005

jeeff: it's too easy for us to see the people of new orleans as just victims. it's good to remind everyone that they're people with normal lives too. i wish we had someone posting photos from kashmir for the same reason.

in response to New Orleans (the January before Katrina)

jeeff: that root looks like a hand. i like the steps into the water. looks like they've been installed for people who just decide, "fuck it," turn off the path and go sleep with the fishes.

in response to The Walk - Pubic Footpath Only

jeeff: really nice, esp. #1. at first i thought, "smog???" by the way, what's the sunset junction fair?
