Twin Guns

I saw Twin Guns last week at Don Pedro. Grainy rock n roll black and white!


I hope you had a good Independence Day. I saw the fireworks with Mormon Tabernacle Choir accompaniment. I hope some day we’ll watch them with Abyssinian Baptist Church Choir accompaniment.

Books Love the Kids

In the words of Jim Anchower, I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya. I have many photos to sort out and things to think about — and whether I’ll write more than two sentences about these things. In the meantime, here’s a short series from Bushwick, Brooklyn. I took these the night of the Bushwick Open Studios Music Festival many weeks ago. A few may be pleased or dismayed to learn that photos of people are coming.

Circles of Central Park

Another shot of Columbus Circle at night. I had a gander around the new Frederick Douglas Circle on the north-west side of Central Park and it is the most austere of traffic circles around the park. It’s lots of large stone tile design and unwelcome benches with little vegetation although that might change. Let it be noted. I’ll get some shots soon… Has anyone been to the Museum of Arts and Design pictured above? Let me know if you want to give it a whirl.

High Line at Night

I finally went to the completed High Line which I saw way before the renovation thanks to OHNY. It’s probably the most unique/odd renovated space in any urban environment. In this case, WFMU was broadcasting a live show. I’ll be back. My old cheap camera seems incapable of taking sharp night shots anymore–maybe because I dropped it so many times.

TV Noir, Culture, and the Internet

X-Files, Season 1, ep 24
X-Files, Season 1, ep 24
True TV noir started with The X-Files. Twilight Zone was black and white and nobody picked up the ball when it stopped. Anyway, before Molly proposed her question and got some answers, I was thinking about the evolution of the internet while The X-Files traversed the 90s. I’m sure others have written about this but I’m just getting around to it sheepishly. In rewatching early episodes, I am also in awe of the amazing cinematography.

Front Street from the Night Archive

Under the Brooklyn Bridge, on Front Street
My [other] cat is dying. Her brother died about a year and a half ago. I haven’t been taking pictures though I’ve been going out some. Happy Memorial Day! In a way, we’re all soldiers so it’s a good time to remember everyone who is somewhere else.

Bonus Bolts

Nice use of filler wedges. I always thought they were called shivs.

New Subway Hole

The subway station at 96th Street has been open for a while though it still has some rough spots. People change and cities change. If they don’t, we get tired of them. (Update: What I meant was, change is natural and expected. Static and decay are smelly.)

If you flip out from visiting a bar, it’s not the bar’s fault.

Capitalism abhors a vacuum. Some entrepreneur will put a tire factory down there.

DUMBO Mambo

Manhattan Bridge from DUMBO (fuzzy)
Hanging out in DUMBO feels like hanging out in TriBeCa did in the late 80s: a mojo hanging out experience.
