Forget the museum...just look at the trees.

The intro was written by my good buddy Jim Macnie:
A cab cracks into a hydrant and keeps going. The fare it bypassed screams
and flips it the bird. One big SPLASH and dumpster juice is everywhere - you know, remnants of a shitty hamburger rubbing dirt mustard on a crumpled Daily News shot of Hillary hugging a five-year-old. New York's coarse side has been lauded by all sorts of artists. The most shallow romanticize the filth. But those who accept the vulgarity and tension for what it is usually reveal a bit of its heart too. Tension. Calamity. The urban obstinance that turns a jackhammer into a musical instrument. Linda Zacks finds the mess both engaging and reviling. In NYC SOUL CITY she scrutinizes those mixed feelings, and the middle ground she settles for makes sense: one clear ray of sunshine can momentarily illuminate the turd-tinged Hudson, and bumper-to-bumper car coitus does have its erotic side. Want a little study in the way we strain ourselves each day? Want to see how living all over each other has its intrigue? Walk the streets with her, and keep your eyes open. One person's pissy alleyway is another's pied a terre.

It's not everyday that you see a giant gumball machine being fixed in front of your eyes. One of those rare new York moments. Gumball machines are so cool. Colored blobs rule.

Snapped this shot in the subway station... love the play on words. I used to use public phones, but when they got so gross and dirty, that's what put me over the edge to finally get a cellphone years ago. They are literally covered in grime. Yuck.

Times Square subway station. I traveled there every day for about three years. I don't understand how things can get so dirty, i mean, beyond filthy... it's nuts. I assume one day, manymanymany years ago, this station was once brand spanking shiny and new. Hard to believe. The rust, the crust, the garbage, the stench is off the charts. Who knows what we are breathing down here in the dirty room.

Walking over the Williamsburg bridge, you will find this awesome bit of street art on the top of a building. I have no idea who made it, but it's spot on. I think it's still there, but i am not sure since there is a crazy amount of construction going on and buildings are being ripped down right and left. Progress?

Took this shot from my roof the other day. Never get tired of a breathtaking sunset.
A fitting end to weeks and weeks of working on the redesign. Welcome to the new site!

Living right across the street from McDonald's, I see lots of weird things like riots, ambulances, big fires and really big trucks. This one was particularly funny - somehow the dot on the "I" gravitated towards the U. Maybe the guy who made it was drunk.
